Mazda Eunos 1.8 S-Special 1994
Finished in Laguna Blue, quite a rare colour, this is a 1994 Mazda Eunos 1.8 S-Special. Its had just two previous owners and has now covered 197863 kilometres (around 123660 miles). Don't worry too much about the miles though - I’ll come back to that in a moment.
Its in nice solid condition with very good body and paintwork. I can see its only ever had minor repairs to the sills on both sides and underneath its completely solid with good floors lower sills, chassis rails etc. There is no rust on wheel arches or wings and its a very smart looking car. Its fitted with a black vinyl soft tp with plastic window and this is in good condition.
Specification includes electric windows and mirrors, electric aerial, power steering and a Nardi steering wheel. As its an S-Special model, this means it has a yellow engine strut brace, Torsen lsd and 14” BBS alloy wheels. These are in good condition and are complete with all centre caps (and the correct centre cap wheel spanner). Its fitted with a set of budget tyres, all in decent condition.
Inside, its all very nice and clean. The dark cloth seats are in good condition as are carpets and other trim. Its fitted with a Sony stereo and I have just fitted new JVC door speakers (the headrest speakers work too).
Back to that mileage: its worth noting that just over two years ago, this had a full engine rebuild by MX5 specialist Mike Cleverly. This included:
Head and block machined and new head gasket fitted.
New piston rings, new big end shells and main bearings. New front crank seal, rear main oil seal, new cam belt and auxiliary belts, new cam seals, new radiator, new Exedy clutch kit. The total bill was in excess of £1647. This was just 2300 miles ago.
As you can imagine, its excellent to drive with lovely performance; the engine feels strong and it flies along nicely while the gearbox and clutch are just as they should be. Out on the road, there are no squeaks, no rattles and no leaks from the drivetrain – its brilliant to drive. As usual, I have covered a good 200 or so miles in this. Its just been serviced (new oil, spark plugs, filters etc) and its MOT tested until March 2023. I have just cleaned and greased the electric window mechanisms, fitted a new front number plate and taken care of a small list of minor jobs ensuring the car looks and drives as a good one should. Suspension components and subframes are all in reasonably clean order with no obvious faults.
Its not perfect of course and I have noted the following: quite a few stone chips to the lower front nose cone, a scuff to the paintwork on the front passenger wing edge, a tiny dent in the passenger door and a small split in the plastic mud flap on the passenger rear. As you can see, it has a boot rack fitted; I usually remove these but this one has marked the paint slightly so I’ll be leaving it on.
It has two keys, the original spare wheel, jack etc and a good collection of paperwork including receipts for various jobs including the engine work mentioned above.
Its a really good example though and I reckon the new owner will love it. Price is a firm £4850.
