Description

Welcome to the sale of a much-loved MX-5 NC 2.0 Sport coupe. This has been my wife’s car for the past 6 years, she is very sad to see it go however a change in requirements means it no longer fits with are needs. If you are not familiar with NC MX-5 this is quite an early one. It is a 2007 car on a 56 plate. New it was a high spec model if not top spec with the larger 2.0 engine, limited slip differential, heated sports seats, Bose sound system with 6 disk changer and the fantastic electric folding roof hard roof to name a few of the best features. Technically this is a coupe not a convertible. I viewed quite a few before pulling the trigger on this one. They are great fun to use especially on sunny days while being robust and cost effective to run. The small size is great for UK roads. It isn’t at all surprising the MX-5 has become the default sports car here. I had not driven it recently and forgot the enjoyment delivers in spades. Id love to say its not just a hairdressers car however this one is currently owned by a hairdresser.
This one is COMPLETELY unmodified, the only thing more original than this is the Werther’s your grandmother dished out. It even has some of the delivery stickers attached in Japanese and fitting instructions from the manufacture. I had to fight my wife to leave them in place and not pull them off. There must be fewer and fewer NC MX-5’s in this original condition. The tool kit and jack are both present. It is a low owner car, we have been the 4th recorded owner, there is no outstanding finance or marks logged against it, it has not been in an accident.
The body is very straight. Panel gaps are all equal and very importantly the car is rust free. The underside, wheel arches ect are all very clean. We have taken care in our ownership to maintain the drainage channels to avoid build up of gunk and rot in the areas NC MX-5’s can be prone to rusting. The car is finished in metallic stormy blue and still pops very well in the sunshine, it has seen a lot wax in its life. The car is approaching 20 years of age and there are some signs. As seems to be common with MX-5’s of this era some of the paint has spotted on the edge of the top roof panel and the lid which lifts to hide the roof when the top is down. This is due to the material these panels are made from not due to any underlying issue. I have done my best to demonstrate that in the photo. There is some lacker peel on the rear panel again iv tried to show this in the photos. I think it was fitted with a chrome pack or similar as the door handles and full filler cap are silver.
The electric folding roof works perfectly, smooth and glitch free. The electric window switch was replaced 3 years ago as it failed leading to the roof being unwilling to drop. This again seems to be common fault for these cars but the new owner need not worry about that as the old switch lasted 15 years.
The alloy wheels are straight and true with no cracks or buckles. They are wrapped in Michelin ps4 tires on the back and ps5 front with good tread depth all around. Three of the four have received some curb rash as can be seen in the photos.
The interior is in remarkably good condition for 90k, the leather seats are free form rips and tears. No fag burns or stains. The drivers bolster leather is worn but not damaged. The seat bolsters are good, no sagging or creaking anywhere. Everything works as it should, including the period correct iPod connection cable! Good luck finding an iPod old enough to fit. The AC blows cold and fresh. Bose sound system is clear and smooth no blown speakers or tweeters, the 6 disk changer works on all the slots. The original Mazda fitted floor mats are present and correct. Dash lights are bright, and all illuminated as they should.
The real strength and stand out of this car however is the service record. It has been serviced every year bar an irritating gap between 2014-2015 where it traveled a truly galactic 11,000 mile’s. The history is mainly by Mazda main dealer’s with the occasional MX-5 specialist. When I bought the car in 2019 on 52,000 miles from Kent MX-5 specialists it proved almost impossible to fine one with regular service history regardless of the milage like this one. There is a large folder of paperwork accompanying the car, the electronic service record is up to date with no gaps. It only once missed a beat under our ownership when the thermostat unfortunately gave in. We were able to stop quickly and a short trip with the RAC and a new thermostat fitted it’s been no problem since, this was 4 years ago. It starts first time every time, gearbox is the typical smooth bullet proof Mazda 6-speed unit which was last service 13,000 miles ago. Car rides well no knocks or bangs on the Bilstein shocks. Two keys included.
We really will be very sad to see it go it hit the brief perfectly, I have no doubt it will continue to be a fantastic car for the new owner to enjoy. I drove it last night and did start to wander why sell.
Please call if you have any questions.
