Mazda Eunos 1.6 1992 in Classic Red
This 1992 Mazda Eunos 1.6 is currently being prepared for sale so this is a quick 'heads-up'. Its finished in Classic Red with black cloth seats and trim and its one that I originally sold some years ago.
Specification is pretty good and includes electric windows, power steering and a Momo leather-rimmed steering wheel. Its covered around 152300 kilometres (about 92000 miles) and its just lovely to drive. Over the last few weeks, its had a fairly major refresh though it was in pretty good good condition to start with.
Bodywork is such a big deal on an MX5/Eunos and on this one, its very good indeed. Our favourite MX5 restorer has just carried out major repairs to the sills and wheel arches (to his usual excellent standard) and its utterly solid. So wheel arches, sills, wings etc are all rust-free. Underneath, floors, lower sills, chassis rails etc are all in strong and sound condition. All running gear, subframes and suspension are in good clean order too. We finished off with a full respray and the car looks just wonderful. Its sitting on a set of 14” Mazda 'Hollow Spoke' alloy wheels (in good condition) and the black soft top is also in excellent condition too.
Inside, its all in pretty good, clean condition. Seats, carpets and trim are in good order and its a nice place to be and has a proper ‘classic car’ feel to it. It has a Sony stereo fitted which sounds great. Everything inside works as it should including the electric windows.
Mechanically its all good too: the engine is typical MX5 in that it feels sweet and strong and loves to be revved hard. There are no leaks or odd noises and it holds its temperature in all conditions. Gearbox, clutch and brakes are all just as they should be.
In preparation for its sale, its just been comprehensively checked over. In fact whenever I prepare a car for sale, I use my own MX5-based checklist which covers 80+ points and ensures that even the detail stuff is checked and any issues spotted and attended to. This includes all sorts of things such as hood catches, drain holes, electric windows, door locks, condition of coolant hoses right down to the state of the cigarette lighter. It means the car is fit for purpose and should behave and drive just as a good MX5 should. Accordingly this one has just been serviced with new oil, spark plugs and filters. Electric windows have been cleaned and greased as have door locks, drain holes cleared, handbrake adjusted etc, Its MOT tested until September 2026. In addition to the above, if the car sells at its asking price, I will include a 6 month warranty via Warranty First, which covers the major mechanical items (details on request).
There is a huge file full of receipts showing work carried out over the years along with lots of old MOT certificates etc. This could easily be used every day and it really is the painless way into classic/fun car ownership and price is a firm £5500.
I've added a few rough and ready photos for now but I'll photograph the car and add more details as soon as the car is ready.
STATUS: Available now and a deposit secures it.
