Mazda Eunos 1.6 V-Special 1991
Always popular, this is a 1991 1.6 V-Special finished in Neo Green with tan leather seats and trim. Its covered around 159300km (99,000 miles) and has had a small fortune spent on it by us over the last few weeks.
Specification includes electric windows, power steering, stainless steel sill tread plates, Nardi wood gearknob, handbrake handle and matching steering wheel (and while I'm certain that this isn't a genuine Nardi wheel, it still looks good). Its in lovely condition throughout and looks terrific.
Both sills have had good quality repairs to their rear ends (inner and outer) and are now solid and sound. In fact bodywork is very good indeed with good wheel arches, sills, floors etc. Paintwork is very good too with no notable dents or scratches. Its fitted with a black mohair soft top complete with glass window and its sitting on a set of original 14" 'Daisy' alloy wheels which have just been fitted with two new rear tyres. Its sitting on very slightly lower suspension and while it handles like a go-kart, the ride quality is particularly good too.
Inside its in good order with some creasing to the leather seats as expected on a 35 year old car. Predictably, the air con no longer works though everything else does and its a nice place to be. Its fitted with a Pioneer stereo complete with £140-worth of Focal door speakers which sound good and since the photos were taken, I have fitted a replacement aerial. Purists will notice that some of the carpets which would usually be tan in colour, have been replaced with black ones and its a colour scheme that works well.
Apart from a full service (new spark plugs engine oil, diff oil, air filter etc), its also had new brake discs all round along with new brake pads (Green Stuff pads on the front) and it has braided brake pipes to all calipers too. Its just been through the workshop and has been checked over using my 87-point check-list: this includes all sorts of things such as state of hood catches, battery condition, hood drain holes, door locks, underbody check, right down to ensuring the cigar lighter works.
This one is particularly good to drive with a really strong smooth engine. It will belt along at today's typical motorway speeds but its even better on a decent country road thanks to the suspension which feels terrific. Clutch, gearchange and brakes are all just spot-on. I've covered a good 300 miles in this and its an absolute blast to drive
It has its original space-saver spare wheel, jack and wheel brace and it has two keys. Its MOT'd until March 2027 and has a file full of old receipts and MOT certificates. Its not immaculate - its still a 35 year-old car - but its smart and very useable. Price is £5650. More photos to follow.
