1994 Mazda Eunos MkI

Tidy and unmolested JDM spec Eunos (MX5) with 1.8 engine and automatic transmission; recent mohair hood and glass rear screen; ready to be enjoyed

Dating from March 1994 this Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) spec Mazda Eunos (MX5) MkI (NA) comes to us in classic bright red, sitting upon its original seven-spoke 14” alloy wheels and features of course, the coolest aspect, its pop-up headlights.

Under the bonnet we find the proven 1.8 litre fuel injected four-cylinder BP-ZE introduced for the first of the MKI’s face-lifts in 1994 and develops 129bhp and 149NM of torque driving the rear wheels here, unusually via four-speed Jatco automatic transmission. 

As a JDM spec car, the standard specification was generally better than that of the equivalent UK market cars and features power-steering, electric windows, electric mirrors and air conditioning.  This tidy example has also benefitted from a retro-fit Mohair hood with glass rear screen, replacing the often now fragile original vinyl roof with plastic rear screen. We also see fitment of the optional and hugely beneficial wind-deflector which helps keep your hair our your face and conversation at normal volumes.

The history file includes the V5C showing just two former UK keepers to our vendor who has enjoyed the car since purchase in February 2018. The V5C also confirms the car was imported and registered here in October 2005 at which time, at first MOT the Eunos showed 84,062Km.  In addition, we find some 15 old MOTs plus current valid until November 2022 which recorded eight minor advisories (check online, enter the reg at check-mot.service.gov.uk). 

Furthermore, recent works undertaken to keep the car in good health include a replacement radiator, new Goodyear front tyres, a rear brake calliper, new brake pads, hoses and springs, larger battery and wax oil protection to the underside. 

Other work during his ownership includes regreased a window regulator, new coil pack, new HT leads, replaced and greased automatic gearshift bushings, some cosmetic attention to NS door, wing and boot lid, replacement NS window regulator, and new diff oil plus engine service in November 2019. The file includes a host of parts and maintenance invoices for these recent works plus more historic bills dating back to 2005 including timing belt change at 85,805Km in Jan 2006 plus the original purchase invoice upon import and supply by Car International of Hants in 2005.

The car shows just 144,784Km which equals 89,865 miles of which c.7,000Km have been covered by our vendor. Ready to be enjoyed and driven to the sale from Bridport, Dorset, these MkI Eunos/MX5 offer huge fun at an affordable level and with values on the rise, now’s the time to get involved.
