Mazda Eunos 1.8 VR-Ltd 1997

I have this Mazda Eunos 1.8 VR-Ltd for sale, quite a rare car and one with an excellent specification. The VR-Ltd Combination B was produced in a limited run of just 800 cars, finished in Excellent Green Metallic with black leather seats, lightened flywheel, later ECU, Bilstein suspension, extra chassis bracing and a Torsen lsd with shorter dif ratios. As result they are brilliant to drive and this particular car is one of the best Eunos I have driven for a while, despite having covered 130,000 miles.

Registered in Japan in 1997, this has been owned by a local lady for the last 8 years. The bodywork, both the bits you can see and the bits you can’t, are all in lovely condition with no rust in the usual places: wings, sills, wheel arches etc. Its had minor sill repairs a couple of years ago and its all sound and solid underneath. To be clear then, there is no rust in any of the usual places such as wings, sills or wheel arches. The paintwork is very good indeed with just a minor stonechip here and there but no dents, bad scratches or anything else to worry about. Underneath its all good too with solid floors and sills and running gear. Its a very good looking car, helped by the black mohair soft top. It has its original 15” Enkei alloy wheels fitted with a set of matching tyres.

Inside, the black leather seats show some signs of age (quite a few creases) but no bad wear of splits. I have just treated these again with leather balm which has restored some suppleness to the leather. All trim – dashboard, door cards and carpets - are in good undamaged condition. It has its original leather-rimmed Momo steering wheel along with a matching chrome Momo gearknob. A decent Sony stereo CD player is fitted complete with headrest speakers (great when you’re driving with the top down).

Mechanically, its in quite standard – or unmessed about with – condition, and is all the better for that. The engine feels incredibly strong – much quicker than most MX5s I get to drive – with lovely torque. In fact it will pull from 1000rpm in fifth gear and sit happily at motorway+ speeds all day long. There are no oil leaks or odd noises and its just brilliant to drive. I have driven many Mazdas with substantially less miles that are nowhere near as nice to drive as this one. The gearbox and clutch are just right as are the brakes. Its had a comprehensive inspection by me along with a full service including new oil and filter, new air filter, spark plugs etc. Both front calipers have just been stripped, cleaned and set up properly.

There is a good collection of paperwork including lots of old MOT, tax discs, receipts and it has the original owners handbook (handily in Japanese). Its just been MOT tested again and is ready to be used and enjoyed. Any prospective buyer needs to drive this one to see how a good a decent Eunos can be. As usual, I always like to cover 200-300 miles on any car I sell and I'm really quite taken with this one. Price is a firm £5500.

UPDATE: NOW SOLD
