Background
Presenting a really special example of MX-5 / Miata in as close to unrenovated new condition as possible. Add 6690 original kilometers and only one single user and this becomes a truly unique listing.
This is the last year model of the first generation NA which for the year 1997 received further updates and is claimed by many the ultimate MX-5!
This car is ordered in Mazda's popular combination Classic Red with black interior and convertible top.
The car has had one owner from 1997-2015 who used the car very sparingly for a few weeks in the summers of 1997-2011, since then it has been parked and stored indoors. Since 2015, the car has been on display in a Mazda showroom due to its great condition.
With 6690 original kilometers, this is as close to a time capsule as you can get.
This model has the larger 1.8-liter engine of 131 horsepower and the power is distributed to the rear wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission.
Equipment
1997 came with many updates such as a new type of aluminum wheels, upholstery in leather and alcantara, stronger strut brazing, airbags, and electrically controlled exterior mirrors, and electrically foldable antenna.
The car has an original mounted typical Clarion cassette radio.
Condition
Paint in the absolute best condition and completely free from damage, scratches, or stone chips, no known respray.
The tires are the originally fitted Bridgestone from the factory, these should be replaced (due to age) if the future owner plans to use the car. Minimal wear. No damage to the rims to remark.
Upholstery and interior completely without wear, original convertible top in the best possible condition. The chassis has never been exposed to winter road salt or even barely rain in summer.
Service
Only 6690 kilometers with good documentation.
Prior to sale, the car was completely mechanically reviewed as a major service with replacement of all fluids, oils, battery, and timing belt was carried out.
Summary
Iconic Roadster! Small, light, affordable, and very fun to drive. It is no secret that the Maza MX-5 has a large following of enthusiasts who like sports cars and the feeling of the wind in their hair. Many hold the first generation extra high for its sheer simplicity. Finding a good tidy example today can prove difficult, but finding an unrenovated car like this one in this condition with its low miles is incredibly rare. This car is now fully ready to either hit the roads this summer or take a place in a collection as a time capsule and representative of one of the sports car world´s real trendsetters.

Kan vi titta på bilen i Stockholm? Vi saknar även regnr (för att kunna göra sedvanliga kontroller) som förhoppningsvis blir känt senast när vi får se bilen live ;-)
Hej, Har utfört omfattande undersökningar av bilen. Såväl ägarhistorik, nuvarande ägare samt hanteringar denna före upplägg på Bidders Highway. Bilen försökte säljas till en tysk intressent för en månad sedan men när denne väl anlände till säljaren (ett företag i Varberg) och undersökte bilen upptäckte han en tydlig omlackering av högersidan där en tydlig nyansskillnad finns mellan dörren och framskärmen. Detta gjorde att tysken avbröt köpet och åkte tillbaka tomhänt. Trots händelsen påstår säljaren i sin bilbeskrivning på Bidders Highway att ”inga omlackeringar är kända”. Tittar man nu noggrant på bilderna så syns nyansskillnaden tydligt (högersidan). Detta är ett flagrant försök till att delge felaktig och avgörande information. Tyskens omdöme finns bland Googles recensioner här: https://goo.gl/maps/jNjiZPt5U7SUjtai8 Jag kommer naturligtvis inte att gå in med högre bud som var planerat.
