Model Overview

Supplied and registered in the UK by 'Christchurch Mazda' on the 22 of May 1995, the '1. 8IS' was Mazda's flagship and top specification model for the MK1, offering the most powerful 1. 8 engine and an array of enhanced interior and mechanical features to comfortably sit as one of, if not the most desirable and expensive specification to collect, preserve and invest. These superior features include the likes of 4 Wheel ABS, Lightweight Enkei Alloys, Electric Mirrors and Windows, Leather-Trimmed Airbag Steering Wheel, Power Steering, Bucket Seats with Adjustable Headrests, Vehicle Immobiliser and a close ratio short throw gearbox pairing with the lightweight 1. 8L 16V DOHC Engine.

History & Highlights

This extraordinary example of a 1995 Mazda MX-5 MK1 1. 8IS, with a genuine factory-fresh mileage of only 6, 314 Miles, highly warrants the title as 'THE' example any discerning collector yearns and spends years waiting for. In an unexaggerated, award winning and showroom condition, this example has been stored amongst a couple of high tier collections, since sold by the initial consumer in 1998 having covered a modest 5282 Miles. With only 1032 Miles to current, this is not to get confused with most classics and MX-5 specific alternatives that have sat untouched for numerous years ; everything has been kept as it should and as desired, MOT’d and maintained throughout, withholding an honest factory condition that's deemed so desirable and highly uncommon to find for MK1 MX-5's. All Mazda supplied owners manuals, booklets, instruction guides and 3 keys have all been retained, with the factory fitted immobiliser operating exactly as it should.

Preparation

Prepared to an exceptional standard, this 1.8IS has been enhanced to its full potential. Exterior - the paintwork benefits from a full 3 stage machine polish and coating, removing any swirls and imperfections. All trim and plastic's are protected with 'Gtechniq C4'. The exhaust tips have been metal polished. Interior - All carpet, floor mats and cloth seats have been deep cleansed with advanced compressed air tools, followed by a full wet-vacuum extraction. Trim is cleaned with compressed air tools and protected in a non-gloss, factory finish coating. The engine bay has been lightly cleaned to retain an honest condition. A Major Service and Cambelt change was carried out at Mazda Main Dealer 'Westdrive' in June 2025, in conjunction to full set of brand new Michelin tyres.
