Eunos 1.8 VR-Ltd Combination B
I have this lovely 1996 Eunos VR-Ltd Combination B for sale. Only 1500 were ever produced, 700 in Wine Red and 800 in Excellent Green (like this one) and that was for the Japanese market only. A few were later imported to the UK, as this one was in 2006.
Specification on these cars is terrific and includes the improved 133 bhp engine complete with lightened flywheel (which lets the engine rev more easily) and later 16-bit ECU as well as a Torsen limited slip diff with shorter 4.3:1 ratio. In reality, it means that these later cars had significantly better mid-range acceleration when compared to the standard 1.8.
When I acquired this one, it looked pretty good and drove very well but closer inspection revealed some serious corrosion in both sills. Therefore I had both sills completely cut out and replaced with new ones, along with some minor repairs to the floor. It was a comprehensive job by a company who know what they are doing and the sills were also treated with Dynax ensuring that they stay rust-free. Both sills are now utterly solid and rust-free. (See the photos here for a flavour of the work carried out). For me, this is a huge plus point as finding a good solid Eunos is increasingly difficult and I feel that I have genuinely given this one a new lease of life.
In fact I have thrown a rather large amount of money at this one including a new soft top and full service. Its also very recently had new rear grooved brake discs, rebuilt rear brake calipers and new pads all round and I have attended to a whole host of other jobs to ensure this drives as well as it looks. This is much, much better than your average tired MX5.
The VR-Ltd has a few unique bits and pieces including black leather seats (embossed with the ‘Roadster’ logo in green on each headrest), alloy gearknob and gear selector surround, Momo leather rimmed steering wheel, Enkei 15” alloy wheels, electric windows, power steering and unique metallic Excellent Green paintwork.
Its now covered 131080km which is around 82000 miles and has a good collection of receipts for service work along with lots of old MOT certificates. Its clearly a car that has been loved over the years.
Inside, its nice, clean and tidy with excellent trim, seats and dashboard. Everything is in smart undamaged condition. It has a JVC CD player which sounds good.
Bodywork is very good indeed with no rust on wheel arches or sills (of course!) or anywhere else. Paintwork is good with just the odd very minor stonechip. Its a very good looking, very tidy car.
Mechanically, its excellent with a really strong engine, There are no oil leaks and it holds its temperature perfectly. Cam belt and water pump were replaced around 10,000 miles ago. It has a performance air filter, 4-2-1 RSR exhaust manifold along with a sports cat converter and a Powerflow stainless steel exhaust. Its a touch louder than standard and sounds superb without being annoying or too loud and it certainly improves the performance – its a real blast to drive. Out on the road, handling is excellent and it drives just as a good Eunos should.
This is a rare car in lovely condition. I have two keys and the car has its original jack, spare wheel etc. Its been very comprehensively sorted out by me, properly serviced and set up and it drives beautifully. Its just had a thorough inspection and service and its MOT tested until January 2020. It won't need any further work or expense once I have completed it - you will be able to simply get in, drive and enjoy it.
Price is £4495 and a deposit secures it now.
