Hello guys,
I'm normally on mx5nutz.com or Jalopnik. Been reading and inspired by Retrorides for 3 years.
Time has come to pass stewardship of my car to someone new – make your own Christmas/someones Christmas & my Christmas extra special - details below.
Reason for sale
I commute 6 miles to work in the Eunos and park in the office car park (just outside Richmond). Towards the middle of January 2016 we are moving offices for one in the heart of Richmond High Street, with no office car park. I therefore have two options –
A: take public transport
B: pay £15 per day to park in the adjacent NCP car park.
Ive decided to go for option A and take public transport. This means the car will probably only get 2-3 hours of use on a weekend. Since I have access to 3 other cars it makes no sense to keep it, so regrettably up for sale.
The car
(purchased August 2013 with 96035 KM/60022 M on clock – as its an import it reads in KM)
• 1990 Mazda Eunos import
• 5 speed manual
• 1.6 litre
• 115 bhp
• Current mileage is 120082 KM / 75051 M (this will go up slightly as its in use)
• 2 keys
Good points
• No rust – sills and wheel arches are very good
• Low mileage at 75051 miles
• Full UK service history
• New soft top roof which is still under warranty
• In 2015 I have had new battery, belts, clutch, master cylinder, slave cylinder, clutch plates, upper & lower shift boots installed
• Mechanically standard and simple
• Few upgrades/mods and restored items
• Kept most of the original equipment so can be put back to stock
• Has immobiliser (with the removable steering wheel you get some security)
Bad points
• It’s a 25 year old car so the paint has flaked off in a few areas and there is one ding on the door
• Worst area is front nose/bumper – however hard to see until you get within 1-2 feet of it
• When releasing the quick hub steering wheel I managed to break the positive wire to the horn – so currently no horn
• Alloys are quite old and have pitting/kerbing
