1990 Mazda MX-5 'Turbo'

Built from the block out with forged connecting rods and upgraded bearings, this NA MX-5 offers a generous 280hp at the wheels. The motor was believed to have been built approximately 15k miles ago and is wearing all of the proper supporting hardware to keep it running cool and reliable, and it has recently seen significant work to keep it running strong. Given the weight-to-power ratio and all of the modifications completed, we imagine this MX-5 exhilarating to drive on the fun bits of tarmac we like to spend our time on. Trades considered.

    Car history report

    Reported accidents are collisions that have been recorded by Carfax and AutoCheck through police reports or insurance claims. 

    Accidents usually aren’t deal-breakers, but they can affect the condition and value of the vehicle. We always recommend Carfax and AutoCheck reports followed by a pre-purchase inspection (PPI) - even if there are no accidents listed as some accidents go unreported.
