Sorry forgot all about the ebay thing! 
1990 Mazda Eunos (MX5) Automatic
We have owned this extremely reliable car for the last 8 years, and it has been the daily driver for my wife. Time has come for it to move on.
The car is an import so was first registered in Japan in 1990 then brought to the UK in 1998. It is currently on a private plate which will be removed before sale, the original registration was VAZ 1704 so hopefully this one will come back from the DVLA. The V5 indicates it is a 1300cc engine, but it is not it is a 1600cc. Mileage is 130,000 km (as shown on speedometer) so 81,250 miles.
