Footnotes

The second generation Mazda MX5 (NB) was launched in February 1998 to continue Mazda's recipe of a fun, front-engine and rear-wheel drive sports car. MX5s of all generations now are becoming increasingly popular due to their impressive driving dynamics (whether in stock or modified configurations).

This 2004 S-VT MX5 is a lovely low mileage example that shows only 34,000 miles from new. The S-VT was a high specification model that featured additional niceties including heated leather seats, a Fuji limited slip differential, 6-speed gearbox, and 16-inch S-VT specific alloy wheels. This example has only 3 owners from new and is in a good condition overall. It is running and driving well and also comes with a full service history. The bodywork and interior also present very well, and recent rust proofing has also been undertaken on the sills. This is a good low mileage example of an increasingly sought after modern sports car.
