An exceptional opportunity: first owner Mazda MX-5 with low mileage It's a rarity that will make many car enthusiasts smile: a first owner Mazda MX-5, of Dutch origin and with incredibly low mileage. It's almost as if this car has stepped straight out of the 90s, a perfectly preserved time capsule from a time when driving pleasure and pure mechanics were at the heart of everything. This MX-5 is undoubtedly a one-off, a true collector's item for classic and sports car enthusiasts alike. A car with a history Since its delivery on 12 September 1994, this Mazda MX-5 has been regarded not simply as a means of transport, but as a precious possession, a companion for the finest moments. It has only been taken out of the garage in dry, sunny weather, to enjoy the best roads. This is not a car that spent its days in daily traffic; it was only used for special journeys, moments when the owner could really enjoy the drive. The low mileage says it all: every kilometre tells the story of a loving and dedicated ownership. The story of this MX-5 is a story of passion. A single owner, someone who, from the outset, saw the value of this iconic roadster and chose to cherish it rather than wear it out. This is evident in the impeccable condition of the car. From the shine of the paintwork to the gentle roar of the engine, everything about this car exudes care and attention. Careful maintenance: technically like new Not only are the exterior and interior of this Mazda MX-5 in perfect condition, but the technical maintenance is exemplary. The car has had its scheduled maintenance almost every year. The engine oil has been carefully replaced, the brakes serviced to ensure optimum safety and performance, the tyres kept in perfect condition, and a new battery fitted every five years. The result? A car that is technically as fresh as the day it left the showroom. What sets this MX-5 apart even more is its rust-free condition. The first generation MX-5 is known to be susceptible to rust, particularly on the rocker panels, wing edges and underbody. However, in the case of this car, there is absolutely no trace of rust. Thanks to meticulous maintenance and the fact that it has never been driven in harsh weather conditions, the condition of the chassis and bodywork is absolutely phenomenal. Under the bonnet is the 1. 8-litre engine, a powerful version of the MX-5's legendary engines. While the 1. 6-litre engine is appreciated for its playful and dynamic character, the 1. 8 offers extra torque and stability. The 130bhp and 152Nm of torque deliver a perfectly balanced driving experience, where power and control come together in a harmonious dance. And while some purists prefer the 1. 6 for its lightness, the 1. 8 has its own fans who appreciate the extra power and flexibility. The only upgrade to this classic is a DAB radio with Bluetooth, allowing you to enjoy modern technology without disrupting the authentic experience. The iconic first generation MX-5 This is an NA generation Mazda MX-5, the very first version of this iconic sports car, which first saw the light of day in 1989. What makes this generation so special are the legendary retractable headlights, which continue to inspire car enthusiasts the world over. It's a design choice that has become rare in the motoring world, but one that gives the MX-5 an unforgettable and playful character. Over the years, the MX-5 NA has built up a solid fan base, not only because of its timeless looks, but also because of its competitive performance. The car is hugely popular in the racing world, particularly with the DNRT (Dutch National Racing Team). The MX-5 Cup is one of the most popular racing categories in the Benelux, where amateurs and semi-professional drivers compete on legendary circuits such as Zandvoort, Assen, Zolder and Spa. The spectacle in this category lies in the fact that the cars raced are production MX-5s, with a maximum power output of 130 bhp and a minimum weight of 960 kg. This makes the racing incredibly exciting, as it's not about raw power, but about technical driving skills and optimising the lightweight bodywork. One of the best things about the MX-5 Cup is the approachable and friendly atmosphere in the paddocks. Here, it's not just about winning, but also about the love of racing and the passion for the car. It's an environment where...
