It’s time that my hand built and very spoiled family member (Blue Chilli) is sold to a new enthusiast that will take care of it and use it for its intended purpose.

I purchased this ‘Garage Queen’ in 2009 from another enthusiast who also loved it more than a new borne child.  We have been members of the MX-5 Club of Qld since 2007.  Not too much in the way of time and $$$ have been spared to develop this car.

My main focus was driveability and reliability - paying particular attention to smooth idleing, stopping, cornering and of course acceleration.  The engine was built by Hagan Performance and Tuned by MAZfix. Suspension by Accurate Suspension.

Mileage - the odometer says 120,000 kMs.  However, this car has been completely refurbished, rebuilt or upgraded over the time I have owned it.  Sale includes: Spares, Workshop Manuals wiring diagrams and receipts.
