Recommended Posts

Main reason we are selling is i'm 6"3 and struggle to drive it and she only drives 4 miles a day to work so ive bought her a larger/cheaper car.

 

The car is lovely to drive and pulls superbly well once your up in the rev range

 

Has some nice but subtle mods.

 

Spec:

 

W reg - 2000

UK Model

75k

Service History

10 months Tax & MOT

Ltd Edition

1.8 ltr

Silver with black leather seats

17" Black/crome rims with decent rubber

Lower mazda lip spoiler

Rear mazda boot spoiler

Mazda mud flaps (colour coded)

Clear indicators and reflectors

Crome Roll Bar

Wind deflector with built in speakers

K & N typhoon air intake

Jackson Springs (sits perfectly)

Powerflow stainless twin exit exhaust with new sports cat

Sony mp3 player with remote

6x9 speakers in front and amp in boot

Tanneau cover for roof

Stainless MX5 kick plates

Lockwood stainless front grill

Aftermarket gear knob

Gemini Alarm & Immobiliser

 

Think thats it.

 

Since we have had it we have sorted the main problem which mx5's have an thats the boots rot away as water gets under the boot lid near the locks so its all been sorted and painted and looks superb, infact you would never tell the boot has been painted.

 

Theres a few very very minor marks/stone chips but nothing you can notice, runs very well, handles superb.

 

Only fault which has recently started is the passenger door does not work with the central locking?? not had chance to look at it as it only started a few days ago.

 

Any test welcome.

 

Private plate will be removed and it will come with its original W plate

 

£5000 - may part ex a decent diesel car/estate cash either way

 

Mike

ps will take some more pics tomorrow

Prob just the actuator, both our MX5s have suffered the same problem, take the door card off and have a look, dead easy to fix (and cheap!)

Typing this on the laptop from bed, gave up smoking so had to do something ;)

 

your lucky, i'm selling it so ive not had any since its been up for sale :(

 

she's not overly impressed with her new pug 206 but hey it suits her needs more then the mx5 so needs must and all that

 

cracking little cars, just a shame they are not a little bigger inside or we would have kept it but once you get the revs up they go nicely :D
