Time to part with my beloved MX5 but this is no ordinary MX5, its a JDM Mazdaspeed RS which means a VVT 1.8, LSD, Bilstein shocks, 6 speed, lightened flywheel and extra chassis bracing.
The JDM variant revs 200rpm higher than the UK version.
It has a rather fetching red cloth interior also which is in good condition - wheel has red trim which has worn on the right side.
Put simply it's a beast of a car and is as happy to wag its tail or grip like mad, whatever takes your fancy.
I had planned to slam this on coilys and turn it into a drift slag however from the moment I got it, I realised it was too nice and too well sorted as standard to butcher and have kept it standard for the past 6 months.

Tax to May 2016
NCT just out
120k miles - MPH clocks installed. Used daily so miles will increase.
Some service history since arriving in Ireland.
Roof is mohair and was replaced last year - receipt to prove.
No rust on this, never crashed, straight as an arrow.

I'll try be as honest as I can.
There are a few marks on the bumpers etc for a car of its age its not too bad bar a dent behind the drivers door.
Wheels are in original condition and could do with a refurb.
The mirrors are wrapped in a stickerbomb wrap as the paint had peeled.

Price is €3,500


Holding off on using Donedeal - not in a hurry to sell will advertise fully when NCT'd
