Rare 1996 Mazda Mx5

A remarkably low-mileage example of Mazda’s celebrated MX-5 roadster, benefiting from a massive history file and low ownership

Powered by a 1.6-litre naturally aspirated inline-four engine, delivering around 88bhp to the rear wheels through a close-ratio five-speed manual gearbox.

This UK-delivered MX-5 is in highly original, unmodified condition.

It has just two previous registered keepers from new, the most recent for 11 years who bought it from a family friend who was the first owner.

Riding on its original 14-inch six-spoke alloy wheels shod with Goodyear tyres, the car is finished in Brilliant Black over a black cloth interior.

pop-up headlights, a face-off Pioneer CD player, lockable transmission tunnel storage compartment, and manually operated convertible roof, which was designed to be opened and closed from inside the car means this car is real fun.

The car is equipped with the optional power steering.

Included in the sale is the unused spare wheel, removable hardtop, V5C registration certificate, original owner’s manual, numerous maintenance invoices and historic MOT certificates, and three keys. There is also an excellent tonneau cover.

The original black cloth upholstery is in excellent condition, with no significant signs of wear.

SERVICE HISTORY

The vehicle was last serviced at 17,800 miles by Woodford Motor Company, who carried out an engine oil and filter change.

The cambelt was replaced at 11,500 miles.

Accompanying the car are 24 MOT certificates from 1999 onwards, and 19 service invoices, including six from a Mazda main dealer.
