Not
your usual MX-5 here-with a reputed 250bhp and full £7k BBR Turbo Sport 2.5
upgrade including clutch, LSD, suspension and brakes on this 4-owner 38,832 mile
beasty!
Not your usual Mazda MX-5. Supplied
new in December 2004 this late model MkII already boasted a high spec being the
S-VT Sport version featuring full leather with heated seats, air conditioning,
front spot lights, electric windows, white dials, aluminium affect trim etc and
has had just four owners from new.
The previous owner purchased the car in August 2015 after experiencing a
Turbo version when living in New Zealand and simply had to have
one.
EVO magazine had raved about the BBR Turbo
version it road tested a few years ago, so our vendor signed up for the full
‘BBR 2.5 Sport’ pack, costing a whopping £7,000. For that, the car would receive the
works, yet retain its stock look (until you look a little closer) including
BBR’s excellent Garrett turbo conversion, uprated clutch, full stainless hi-flow
exhaust, LSD, uprated turbo grooved disc brakes with uprated pads and beefier
suspension to handle the claimed 250bhp now available.
This pocket-rocket-roadster has covered just 38,832 miles and was
converted by BBR in 2015 when it had covered just 27,000 miles. With the arrival of small children our
original vendor in 2020 (who had the work done) simply didn’t have sufficient
opportunity to enjoy the car, hence just 4,000 miles covered during his
ownership, and just 9,000 miles have been covered since by two subsequent
owners, both purchasing the car from ourselves.
The history file includes the V5C, owners pack and service book
showing 11 stamps plus three body inspections, six old MOTs plus VOSA print-out
along with service invoicing including those covering the conversion. The
current MOT runs until September 2025 with no recorded
advisories.
If it whets your appetite further,
our consignor was treated to a short blast in the car, and to say it goes well
is an understatement, MX5’s don’t usually pull your face off! Oh, and the plate pretty much says MX5,
and almost BBR if you squint hard enough...
Given the high price paid
for the conversion and the hilarious performance, this looks like an
absolute bargain if you ask us...
