Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 2014 Mazda MX-5 Sport Venture is a standout with a professionally installed BBR 2.5-litre engine conversion producing 210.5 bhp, significantly enhancing its performance. It benefits from low mileage, a desirable Sport Venture spec with a power retractable hardtop and heated leather seats, and a recent MOT.
Condition
8
The car has very well-maintained exterior and interior with minimal signs of wear. The paintwork is good, leather is supple with minimal bolster wear, and wheels have no significant kerbing. Minor cosmetic issues like light hazing on one headlight and general underbody surface corrosion are noted, but these are typical for a car of this age and do not detract significantly from its overall excellent condition. The significant mechanical upgrade with the BBR conversion is a major positive.

This particular Sport Venture has been taken to the next level.
In April 2025, at 43,501 miles, BBR fitted their Duratec 2.5-litre conversion, a job backed by a dyno sheet showing 210.5 bhp at 6,000 RPM and 202.2 lb ft at 3,500 RPM - a...
