From its introduction in 1989, the model has found success throughout the world as a lightweight, economical but well-appointed sporting motor car that offers its occupants more than a just a hint of the new-found excitement those in the Sixties experienced in their innovative MGBs, Lotus Elans and the like.

The history file supplied is comprehensive and includes the original owner’s manual, the handbook, the key code, a large quantity of invoices and MOT test certificates, Mazda correspondence and the V5C registration certificate. Also supplied is the hardtop storage cover and a car cover, although the MX-5 has always been stored in a garage.
