Mk1 Track Car

Hi all, haven't been on here in ages, lots to catch up on. Due to personal circumstances, I need to sell off most of my cars.
The one I'm mentioning here is a stripped, caged and well built Mk1 track car.
I bought it from a chap in Dublin a few years ago and have spent more time and money on it, making it lighter, safer and faster.

Main points are:
Bare shell rebuild
Engine rebuild
Full multipoint cage by RoCo
Sparco buckets
Schroth 4 pont harnesses
Gaz Pro Gold shocks
Uprated aluminium rad, fans and hosing
2 sets of wheels, one with Toyo Proxes, other set running Michelin Pilot Sport Cups, which are simply stunning tyres

I have a hardtop, as well as an assortment of bits to go with it.
Price - best offer, from someone who actually comes to view it. I won't take anyone seriously unless they are here in person.

I don't have images online, but can whatsapp or email if requested.
I'm based in Galway and been a Mazda and MX-5 fan for a long, long time. This is my 5th MX-5 and I think its the most fun and sorted one I've ever had.
My intention was to enter hillclimbs with it. I did a few trackdays with Octane at Mondello, that was the only driving its had with me.
If your looking for a fun car, whether its for track days or competition use, this is that car!


If your interested, I also have an Iveco Ford 7.5t race transporter to sell, which I used to transport it. Has 1 ton tail-lift, garage area with winch, lights and overhead storage. Separate living, cooking and sleeping area.

Also for sale are:
1980 RX-7
1995 RX-7 Type RZ
1999 Mitsubishi RVR (Evo engine)
2014 Honda Jazz ES+
2016 Toyota Auris 1.2t

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Car has been collected. I wish the new owner many miles of blasting around Mondello and hope it brings him as much fun as it did me.
