As the best-selling two-seat convertible sports car in the world, the Mazda MX-5 enjoys a reputation of being fun to drive, easy to look after, and an accessible entry point for motoring enthusiasts. Debuting in 1991, the MX-5 drew inspiration from the classic British roadsters of the 1970s and 80s, offering a minimalist and simplistic, yet modern and balanced design and mechanical package. More than 30 years later, it is a still a benchmark by which other sports cars are judged. 

This 2001 NB (second-generation) MX-5 lives in Cape Town and has been with the current owner for two years. The car is in excellent condition with all original parts and has a mileage of only 83000km. New tyres were fitted in 2021 and a new battery in early 2023. 

The car also comes with a colour-matching, detachable hardtop roof that fits over the well-kept vinyl soft-top roof, and a full service history.
