The Appeal

The third generation of Mazda’s era-defining MX-5 was a firm and clever reset. It resembled the original in style, but added improved quality, better technology and comfort. The qualities that made the original so appealing remained though: light and nimble handling and tactical driving experience with decent 167bhp performance from its revvy 2L motor.

This facelift Mk3 MX-5 added updated aesthetics and an improved cabin. Finished in stylish Brilliant Black with a matching leather interior and roof, it is a low mileage car in very good condition with full service history.

This well-specified car presents well with few signs of use across the interior and exterior. It comes to market with MOT to February 2025.
