Description:

For sale or swap a modern classic now, NB MK2 Mazda MX-5 1.8 petrol manual with private number plate worth more than £1k included.

This isn't an average rotten MX-5, she is solid and in very good condition. Body, sills and wheel arches are solid as the paint work. This is the standard version so no central locking or many electronics to go wrong (!); no ABS, no ESP or traction control, manual roof, manual window mirrors but with electric windows. Interior in very good condition without ripped fabric or broken plastics. Roof in good condition with just two small patches, working and without leaks. With aftermarket Stereo.

Car drives beautifully without any knocks or bangs. And she's really fast as it's a very light car, 1,025kg curb weight with 138BHP stock and 0-60MPH in 7.7 seconds according to Mazda. She has the more powerful 1.8 petrol engine that has done only 102k in 25 years (!). Mechanically she is sound and pretty stock, the only upgrade being the newer radiator. Everything does work as it should. She has x2 new Hankook tyres on the front and the ones on the back have more than half life. With the rare TSW Stealth alloys.

With original manual and x2 keys. Unfortunately previous owner lost service history but is written in the manual that cambelt and water pump were changed at 90k.

With fresh full MOT up to September 2025.

These in good condition are selling for over £3k now and with the added private number plate the advertised price is to sell: https://youtu.be/dx79xGLdguo

I want to swap for

I'm in no rush to part away with her but could have something bigger with rear seats and more boot space; would prefer RWD still and petrol so I'm thinking another BMW 1 Series, a 2010+ 120i or 125i coupe or convertible. FWD cars that I would consider, a stock not messed 2006+ MK2 Ford Focus ST-2 as I do like Fords, a 2006+ stock not messed Mazda 3 MPS, an MK6 VW Golf GTI or even maybe a Renault Clio RS 182/197/200 as didn't try one yet. Classic cars would be interested, an original VW Beetle or an MG B GT Coupe. Cars with 100k max on the clock and road worth, please.

I'm here to try different cars and have fun, not to profit as looks like most are. Try me!

I am open to ALL SWAPZ
