EXTERIOR
True roadster elements, rear-wheel drive and perfect 50:50 weight distribution are all the hallmarks of the iconic Mazda MX-5. A genuine 1,136 miles from new, this phenomenal early NC MX-5 is pristine throughout and finished in eye-catching, True Red, (Code A4A). Entirely commensurate with the ultra-low mileage, this example presents in perfect condition with no imperfections visible to the paintwork even upon meticulous scrutiny. This extends to the expensive factory optional hard top, and the premium soft-top is as new with a deep black finish. The underside as equally clean as the topside and the car has always been garaged by the two family member owners. Supplying dealer number plates, hood rear screen sticker and tax disc holder remain fitted along with Mazda security labels. All factory chassis stickers to panels remain attached. Having covered just one month’s average mileage in 20 years, this MX-5 is impossible to fault.
INTERIOR
The sports seats with integral head restraints finished in Black Cloth are unmarked and the leather-wrapped steering wheel and gearshift knob display natural grain thanks to virtually no use! Door trim, carpeting and all entry/exit points are free from normal wear other than barely detectable hairline scratches to the driver’s side scuff plate. Door apertures are spotlessly clean with factory labels and all equipment, functions and displays operate precisely as they should. Even fragile labels to the inner rear lights remain intact, long lost on most examples! The pristine boot area has the original unused jack, brace, toolkit, and compressor, and even a label still on the boot carpet. The lightweight hard top can be removed in seconds and the effortless manual hood mechanism will prepare you for instant wind in your hair fun!
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
Prepare for the ultimate adrenalin rush with responsive handling and rapid acceleration from this 1.8-litre 126ps chain driven engine capable of propelling the car from 0-62mph in 9.4 seconds and a top speed of 122mph. A pristine engine bay will cater for those wishing to enjoy the classic car scene with bonnet-up exhibiting. The slick gear change encourages sporting changes and this example certainly has no wear related loss of feel!
WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
Light weight 16in Design 41 alloy wheels are part of the Option Pack and have been preserved in flawless condition and factory fitted Yokohama Advan 205/50 R16 tyres will please the collector wanting absolute originality. The sophisticated four-wheel Anti-lock Braking System, (ABS), with Electronic Brake-force Distribution, (EBD), features discs all-round to offer powerful, assured and safe braking power.
HISTORY FILE
Supplied new on the 4th March 2006 by New Coventry Mazda, this exceptional example was registered to the dealership as a pre-reg complete with the expensive Option Pack and Hard Top costing £2399.95. Subsequently sold to the first owner three months later, Miss Endicott went on to own the car for 14 years until 2020 when it was sold to family member, Mr Wagstaff. Throughout its ownership with both keepers, the car has been garaged and used as a leisure vehicle in fair weather only. The initial owner’s ill health meant the car was used only minimally and the second owner, her relative, wanted the car to remain in the family. The reality of owing several other cars and wanting the garage space freed up has led to a reluctant sale.
A documented major service and recommission in November 2026 have been carried out using genuine Mazda parts where possible. All handbooks contained within the Mazda black A5 wallet are present including dealer cards. The history folder also contains new car sales and accessories brochures as well as specification and price lists. Truly pampered with every nut, bolt, bracket and surface immaculately clean, it is truly exceptional in every respect and will appeal to a perfection seeking collector. Likely the best in existence.
