Eunos 1.8 S-Special 1994
I'm always on the lookout for good Mazdas and came across this one in the South East. What caught my eye was the low mileage - its covered just 45000 miles. Further investigation revealed that the last owner has had the car for 15+ years and that it has been off the road for the last 5 years. Hmm....thats a waste of a good car - which is where I came in...
Its a 1994 Eunos 1.8 S-Special in Brilliant Black with black cloth seats and trim. Specification includes electric windows and mirrors, stainless steel tread plates, 14" BBS alloy wheels and Sony CD player. Mechanically this has the 130bhp engine along with Torsen lsd and uprated anti-roll bars.
Bodywork is very good with excellent sills and wheel arches. I suspect sills may have been repaired in the past, clearly to a high standard as they are solid and any repairs have been done well enough that they are quite hard to spot. Underneath its equally solid with sound and solid floors chassis rails etc.
The process is now starting of giving the car a good refresh and thorough sort out. It actually drives quite well but I have a big list of jobs in order to make the car as good as it should be. These include:
Full service including all fluids and new spark plug leads.
Replace timing belt and water pump.
Replace all brake discs and pads
Replace all four tyres (I'll replace with something decent, probably Rainsports).
Replace the soft top.
Fit new battery.
Replace the temperamental fuel pump.
Clean and lubricate the electric window mechanisms.
The car will be supplied with a new MOT and I've no doubt that the list will get bigger as I go on.
I'm hoping to have this lot done within the next 6 weeks or so and the end result will be a well sorted low mileage Eunos that drives the way a good one should. The photos here is of an identical car - I have no photos of the actual car just yet of course but I will post a set when the car is finished. Price will circa £4500.
