Registration - P423 PUGChassis No. - JMZNA18P200309338M.O.T. - November 2025Odometer - 33,000Sumptuous in Vin Rouge Mica paintwork, this example of Mazda’s MX5 is the limited run Merlot edition; the convertible featuring this unique and lustrous body colour, presented over grey leather interior. Powered by the 1.8i engine of the standard MkI Mazda MX-5, the Merlot edition also used the same five-speed manual gearbox - the pairing going on to put Mazda’s roadster into legend. Distinct features include 15-spoke alloys, the touched leather upholstery with burgundy-coloured piping, wood effect dashboard, wooden gear knob and handbrake, rear mud guards, CD stereo, immobiliser, and Merlot badging. Just 600 models were produced, and features include central locking, electric windows, stainless steel kick plates, original Clarion stereo, original cotton Mazda car cover, and wind deflector.‘P423 PUG’ is offered for sale with an extremely low indicated mileage at just 33,000 miles on the odometer. It’s presented as a highly original model, with one owner from new until December of 2023, having covered 32,000 miles to that point. That owner was a now retired engineer, who cherished ‘P423 PUG’, an attitude that the current owner has clearly continued. The alloys are described as unmarked by the vendor, as is the upholstery. It is described as never having been repainted or welded, and feature a fully documented service and MOT history, including cam belt change in 2020. Originally ordered from JCT Leeds, ‘P423 PUG’ comes with original owners brochure and book pack, and has been professionally detailed and ceramic coated. As such, the owner unsurprisingly rates this MX-5 as ‘excellent’ across the board, covering engine, transmission, electrics, bodywork, paintwork, and interior.Limited edition Merlot specification - one of just 600 modelsHighly original conditionSought after clean MkI Mazda MX-5Inspired by post-war British roadsters - at a time when practically nobody else was making them - Mazda launched its MX-5 in 1989, to instant acclaim. Named the Eunos Roadster in Japan and Miata in the US, the MX-5 - by whichever name it is known - has gone on to become one of the most influential cars in history, restarting the compact, open-top sportscar market almost singlehandedly. The first-generation model stuck with the simple front engine, rear wheel drive, two-seater convertible configuration, though a hard-top was offered as an optional extra. In the UK, it was powered by a 1.8-litre engine, but other parts of the world also had a 1.6-litre motor, or 2.0-litre engine. An automatic was offered in certain markets, but the MX-5 is a car that deserves to be driven and as such, it is the five-speed manuals that are most popular. The first-generation model was produced until 1997, when it was replaced by the Mark II (NB) model.

This culminated in ‘OU69 DXH’ gaining its Individual Vehicle Approval (IVA) in 2019 and being allocated this year specific registration number. Whilst based on the iconic MKI GT40, ‘OU69 DXH’ features MKII rear bodywork. ‘OU69 DXH’s’ tubular spaceframe and aluminium panelled body is propelled by a 302 cu. in. V8 stroked to 347 cu.in.

This superlative car comes with a valid, advisory free MOT until June 2025.

The panels are finished in Ford Performance Blue and encompass some superb GT40 details. First there are the signature doors that constitute part of the roof and include in built “helmet humps.” Correct bulleted fuel caps with lock internals are also fitted as are period correct “bullet” wing mirrors.

These are centrally mounted via triple eared knock on spinners.‘OU69 DXH’s’ focused cabin manages to blend an authentic 1960’s race car aesthetic with a raft of invaluable modern conveniences and enhancements. The period faithful, low slung black leather bucket seats immediately grab the eye. These are perforated with six rows of alloy eyelets. Red Luke five point, 2-inch racing harnesses are fitted. An adjustable peddle box features, together with brake bias adjustment. The wide dashboard is flocked to reduce glare, and this provides a home to a set of Autometer “pro comp” gauges including a 6-inch tachometer and 200 mph speedometer. A race GPS data logger is also fitted and period accurate Lucas style toggle switches abound. There are a number of subtle, modern enhancements also included here. A heating and air-conditioning system are present, as is a heated windscreen, engine immobiliser, keyless ignition and starter button. A Lifeline hard plumbed fire extinguishing system is present with cockpit and engine bay jets.Needless to say, ‘OU69 DXH’s’ mechanical specification is no less awe-inspiring. The Gurney Weslake built V8 features a balanced crankshaft, KB performance pistons with steel conrods, and full ported and polished aluminium ARP heads housing a COMP Cam’s extreme race camshaft. Also noteworthy is an ARP head stud conversion with hydraulic rollers and COMP Cam valve strings. Edelbrock rocker covers are fitted together with four barrel Holley carburettor, MSD digital distributor, AP lightweight flywheel and AP racing clutch. In terms of ancillaries, a custom alloy radiator with high flow core is fitted, as is a “bundle of snakes” tubular exhaust system with ceramic coating. Underneath ‘OU69 DXH’ lurks a rose jointed race suspension, with machined uprights and adjustable antiroll bars. These work together with Ohlins adjustable height coil overs with three way adjustable dampers. Braking is courtesy of AP Racing four callipers front and rear, acting upon AP Racing grooved and vented disks on machined hubs.Given the attention to detail and fastidiousness of this unique build, it may come as no surprise that the vendor rates all aspects of ‘OU69 DXH’ as “excellent.”
