Description
This is one of the best-sorted NC MX-5s you’ll find in the UK – set up to deliver confidence and pace on real roads.
-
Engine & ECU: BBR Super 180 conversion with 185bhp. Paired with the Racerom unit (with downshift autoblip, heel-and-toe assist, and other functions, switchable via smartphone app). Power delivery is smoother, more linear, and transforms the car without spoiling its character.
-
Exhaust: LC Motorsport performance exhaust (de-catted) with twin 4″ tips – purposeful but rounded soundtrack.
-
Suspension: Meister R CRD coilovers, fully set up by Roddisons Motorsport (Sheffield) – widely regarded as the country’s leading MX-5 suspension specialists. The setup is outstanding: 32-way adjustable damping on each corner, confidence-inspiring on B-roads, and a genuine step change over stock.
-
Interior: Miyako edition with black leather & red stitching. Upgrades include a Momo Tuner steering wheel and matching black leather gaiters with red detailing.
-
Wheels & Tyres: Red Bola alloys wrapped in Goodyear Eagle F1 tyres – superb grip, sharp steering feel, and a striking look.
I’ve owned Porsche, Ferrari, TVR, and Caterham, and yet this MX-5 – thanks to the Roddisons suspension and BBR upgrade – delivers a level of confidence and balance that genuinely stands out.
A properly sorted driver’s car, ideal for fast road use and rewarding every mile. I’ve owned the car for around two and a half years, never driven her in the wet and she’s always been garaged. I’ve only done about 5000 but enjoyable miles and I’m now almost 80 and need to pass her on to someone else. She’s in great condition and rust free. Recently serviced. Comes with the personal plate. MOT till March 2026.
