Car is in Kettering, Northants. 2 mins off the A14.
Extremely rare so hard to know price wise as thy virtually never come up for sale but looking for £600 or offers close to.
PM me or reply on here.
So, formalities out the way Its a Mazda 121 that isn't a Ford Fiesta or a kia pride! Is a Suntop model so has an electric sunroof which folds right back so it feels like a convertible. It a fuel injected 1300cc 16v with 5 speed manual. Designed as a town car, so power steeering, very light controls and a mad tight turning circle. rear seats fold flat (though i broke 1 of the flimsy pull handles when i got it
Here a bit of proper top gear with a review.
Its a GLX so has central locking, front electric windows, interior adjustable wing mirrors. its got a semi operational (always plays but you cant always adjust the volume LOL) CD player loosely fitted. 4 factory speakers. i bought it in 2010 but i've only done 2500 miles since MOTing. It had some welding for mot but its amazingly rust free and solid. Also had rear brake shoes for MOT, since the mot i fitted the lowered springs and the 14" MX5 wheels. I changed the oil and air filter about 100 miles ago.
Bad bits,
some dents and scrapes to bodywork, small amount of laquer peel on rear passenger door
Welding was functional but not particularly cosmetic !
Tyres are ok for tread but would fail an mot on aged rubber i suspect.
front seats are split and/or frayed so need changing or seat covers,
Interior light has never worked
and the sunroof has buttons in the back for passengers which don't work and it should go from back to front as well as front to back
but this has never worked either - may be an easy fix never investigated any of the electrics.
Good points
Unusual and curious looks so stand out
its not a japanese car thats not a micra or a civic
Sunroof is great (when its not lashing it down)
rare as ( 22 lx suntops, 4 suntops according to howmanyleft - glx suntops who knows but not many i suspect)
plus its reliable, great round town.
good on fuel and cheaper tax as under 1600cc
most of all its got bags of potential, more space under the bonnet than my CRX had so throw something VTEC in there! its weighs 865kg according to the sales brochure i have.
not really intrested in a PX as i have bought a respectable family car (volvo S60 R ;D). Looking to sell quickly as i need the space on the drive so genuine enquiries only please, would rather sell on here but will have to go on e bay in a week or so if not sold
Cheers
