Offered for sale is this 2012 Mazda MX5 1.8SE finished in True Red and this one has the very desirable folding metal roof which massively adds to the car’s usability.

Its covered just 60200 miles and has a couple of very desirable option extras - air-conditioning and leather heated seats - as well as electric windows and mirrors, central locking and steering wheel controls for the stereo.

Inside its in smart, clean condition and everything works as it should. Carpets, seats and trim are all in good condition. Bodywork is good with just a couple of minor rust bubbles appearing on one of the rear wheel arches and some minor lacquer lift on the folding roof cover.

I’m selling this on behalf of its current owner: in fact I know two of its three previous owners and I know its been looked after and enjoyed. Its recently had new front shock absorbers fitted and it also has a stainless steel twin exit performance exhaust which sounds terrific though its original exhaust system is also available if required.

Its sitting on standard 16” Mazda alloys fitted with Rainsport tyres to the front and new Kumhos to the rear. Out on the road, its just great to drive. The engine feels strong while gearbox, clutch and brakes are all as they should be. Handling, as expected for an MX5, is particularly good while still offering a nice ride quality and of course there are no unusual noises or rattles. It really is just great fun to drive. Its MOT tested until June next year and has a decent service history. Its simply a lovely looking car and drives extremely well. Offers around £6495
