Before I tell you more, let me tell you about Goodwood Sportscars and why should you buy from me: I have been buying and selling Mazda MX5s for over 20 years now. While I'm a car dealer, I consider myself to be a car enthusiast above all else. I'll only sell cars that actual interest me as an enthusiast. I live, sleep and breath quick cars and have sold literally thousands of performance cars over a thirty year period. I have competed in various forms of motorsport including the Scottish Hillclimb Championship (in an MX5 of course). So I'm pretty good at spotting a good MX5 and at making one work to the best of its ability. I've had many thousands of MX5s through my hands and know their strengths and weaknesses well.
Its clearly been well looked after over the years and bodywork is in very good condition indeed. I know that it has had a repair to the rear sill area some years ago and this was clearly carried out to a good standard as the repair is near invisible and the car is solid underneath. Outer bodywork is good too with solid, rust-free wheel arches, inner wheel arches, sills and wings. Paintwork is very good and the car simply looks just lovely. Its fitted with a black vinyl soft top with zip-out plastic window and this is all in good condition with no splits, tears or other damage.
Inside everything is in good order: seats are nice and clean and are free from damage as is the various trim pieces, door cards, dashboard etc. I’m about to fit a new set of black carpet mats (not shown on the photos) and I have also just fitted a new leather gear surround gaiter. It has a JVC stereo fitted and I have just replaced the old door speaker with new Sony items. It has a Stirling immobiliser fitted too.
Mechanically its all good too. The engine feels particularly strong and pulls really well in a gears. Oil pressure and temperature are as they should be and brakes and gearbox are just fine too. As with all of my sales cars, I always cover a good 200-300 miles so I know that the car drives as a good MX5 should – and this one is really very good. Blasting around the country lanes is just brilliant fun but I also know its more than happy sitting at motorway speeds for hours on end if needed (which I have also done in this car).
I always prepare my MX5s carefully using my unique MX5-based 80+ point checklist. The point of this is to ensure that everything is inspected – from the state of coolant hoses to electrical items, hood catches, engine fault codes etc and any faults found are then rectified. It means that there should be no unexpected immediate expense once you have bought the car and gives me peace of mind that the car I sell is of a good standard. As part of this process, the car has just been serviced with new oil, spark plugs and filters. Electric windows have been cleaned and greased as have door locks, drain holes cleared, handbrake adjusted etc, a new battery fitted along with new wiper blades. Its recently had new front brake discs and pads fitted. Finally it was MOT tested – this runs until October 2025.
There is a collection of paperwork including receipts for work carried out along with lots of old MOT certificates. There are two keys (with two immobiliser fobs) and it has its original jack and spare wheel. Its now ready to be used and enjoyed and price is £4850.
I'm based in Berwick on Tweed, near the Scottish Border and I can collect any prospective buyer from the local train station or I can arrange to have the car delivered by a trusted transport company at extra cost. I’m well known in the MX5 world and know these cars well. Please do not hesitate to ask any questions – if you are genuinely interested, you’ll have plenty and I’m happy to talk about MX5s all day. I'm also happy to give you an honest description and if there any faults or issues with the car, I much prefer to tell you up front, so you are clear about what you are buying.
