Mazda Eunos 1.6 in Stone Silver
This is a nice one: it’s a 1991 1.6 in Stone Silver with black leather seats and 14” ‘Daisy’ alloy wheels. Its covered around 133870 miles and is in very good condition indeed. Its only just arrived and I still have a few jobs to do to it but a deposit secures it now.
First of all, bodywork: its all good with solid sills and wheel arches and no rust and no dents or body damage. There is the odd stone chip or light scratch here and there but its in better than average condition. Its had sills repairs in the past and these have clearly been carried out to a high standard. The inner sills have been inspected with a boroscope and they are both solid. Its good underneath too with good solid floors, sills, chassis rails etc. All suspension components are nice and clean too.
Specification includes electric windows, power steering, stainless steel sill tread plates, chrome door mirrors and a rear spoiler. The air conditioning has been removed (I’m guessing it didn’t work and the weight saving is handy). It has a few minor modifications which always help such as a stainless steel twin exhaust exhaust system and a modified air intake. These really wake the car up and it really flies with exceptionally strong performance though I should warn you that the exhaust is quite loud under full throttle: I think it sounds excellent but it won’t be everyone’s cup of tea. Last year, it had a top end engine rebuild including new head gasket and water pump. It pulls really strongly, even from low speed in fifth gear but still feels equally happy at higher motorway speeds. Its worth mentioning that it had a new clutch fitted in 2019 too.
Inside it has black leather seats which are in good condition though the drivers seat has had a previous repair and is showing some signs of wear. In fact the interior is in nice clean condition with good carpets and mats, smart door cards and an undamaged dashboard. I’ll also be replacing the stereo system as the current one doesn’t work. Both handbrake and gear lever have black leather gaiters which suit the car well.
Its just been serviced with new oil, filters and spark plugs and I will include 12 months MOT test. It has two keys (with immobilizer) and there is a small collection of paperwork too. I will also be fitting four new tyres before its sale.
Its just excellent to drive. Apart from the performance which I’ve already mentioned is exceptionally good, it handles well too. It has standard shock absorbers but these have been fitted with slightly shorter Tein springs and this combination works really well with a surprisingly comfortable ride quality. This kind of set up can often be too hard but this is just great and makes the car so much more useable. Its also been fitted with the bigger brake discs and pads from a 1.8; all discs and pads are by Pagid and are new.
The soft top currently fitted is a black mohair item but its in quite worn condition. However if the asking price is paid, I’ll fit a brand new black vinyl soft top. As you can see, it has a chrome style bar fitted along with Mk2 windblocker and has its original tonneau cover.
Followers of my website/facebook page will notice that I previously sold this one earlier this year. The buyer loved the car but a change in circumstances meant she needed something newer and therefore offered me the chance to buy the car back – which I jumped at.
Its not perfect (its still a 30 year old car) so it has the odd stone-chip and would benefit from a really detailed clean. But I reckon its better than most out there and is ready to be used and enjoyed. Price is £3900.
