Mazda Eunos 1.6 in Silver
This is a 1991 Mazda Eunos 1.6 in Silver Stone with black trim and as you can see, its been fitted with an unusual set of Work Ewing two-piece alloys which I reckon work well with the silver bodywork. I'm pretty certain they were on the car when it came over from Japan back in 2003 which is when the last owners acquired the car. And yes that means the last owners have had the car for 23 years during which time it was always garaged.
Other than the wheels, the car is very original: Its never been welded so has the original spot welds on the rear wheel/arch sill area. There is no rust on wheel arches, sills, wings etc though there is the odd stone chip. It has its original tool kit and even has its original Panasonic stereo. The odometer shows around 86600 BUT this is in kilometres so I reckon its actually about 54200 miles if correct (and I'm sure it is).
Spec includes electric windows, power steering and... thats it. No Lane Assist, no sat nav, no ABS or Traction Control. In fact thats the whole point of a Eunos Mk1: its all about simplicity, lightness and the driving experience which really is quite exceptional. I covered about 200 miles in it a few days ago and it drives really well with a particularly strong engine and terrific handling. Its nice and clean inside and everything is in good order - even the air conditioning still works. Carpets are in good order and it still has its original Mazda carpet mats. The soft top is in black vinyl with zip-out plastic window and is in good condition. Tyres are older items but are in good condition.
Underneath its all just as it should be. The suspension arms etc still have the original paint on them. In fact while the suspension and subframes are dusty, if you were so inclined and wanted to spend the time, you could make the underside look exceptionally good. Mechanically, its all in good condition and brakes, clutch and gearbox are all as they should be. There are no odd noises or strange rattles which is pretty good considering the car is 35 years old. Its been well serviced over the years and has had the timing belt changed at least twice.
Its just been serviced and MOT tested though I still have a few minor jobs to finish off (such as to fit a new front number plate). There is a collection of paperwork including some Japanese paperwork along with the original Japanese handbooks and it has two keys. Its not often you see one as solid and original as this so I'm really pleased with it. Price is £6250. More photos
