  Lot 11
 

2007 Mazda MX5
***NO RESERVE***

Registration - DK07 WJL

Chassis No. - JMZNC18F600131595

M.O.T. - December 2024

Odometer - 131,977

This 2007 Mazda MX-5 is finished in classic sporting red, a great colour choice for a modern two-seat roadster that echoes the best of 1960s British sports cars. An enviable 2.0-litre Sport model, this ‘NC’ Mazda MX-5 generation has 131,000 recorded miles on the odometer, but is still described as being in ‘good’ condition throughout, from engine and transmission to bodywork, paintwork and interior. As a range-topping Sport version, it has a limited-slip differential and close-ratio six-speed manual gearbox, offering the snick-snick shift all MX-5 are famous for. The vendor reports it has had four recent tyres, been waxoiled underneath from new, and comes with the original book pack. It also has a series of subsidiary invoices, and the MOT expires in December 2024. This car has had two previous owners from new and we are told that it has been lightly used in recent years, with just a few thousand miles being covered annually.

The legendary Mazda MX-5 was introduced in 1989 after being lovingly crafted by a crack team of experts during the 1980s. The original idea actually dated back to the 1970s, as an inexpensive, simple, classically British sports car. It took the engineering expertise of Mazda to revive a concept that had died out by the time of its launch – and the quite brilliant original MX-5 quickly took the world by storm. Developed across multiple generations, has gone on to be the best-selling two-seat convertible sports car in history, with its record growing all the time; it will probably never be matched. As a car with perfect weight distribution, neutral handling and an indulgently controllable simplicity even on the limit, it is easy to see why the Guinness World Record-holding Mazda MX-5 continues to be loved.

In summary:

· Desirable Mazda MX-5 2.0 Sport offered for No Reserve

· Eye-catching red with a black interior

· Four new tyres and waxoiled underneath from new
