I have a hard time catching the San Joaquin Valley Railroad during the daylight hours despite living in Bakersfield most of my life, they run a nocturnal operation down here which is not a bad thing as the temperatures begin to climb. As I was getting off work this afternoon I managed to hear a conversation between the UP dispatcher 256 and an SJVR job clearing up at Oil Junction. On my way home I decided to investigate and I'm glad I did.

SJVR 3818, the Frisco inspired GP38, leads a string of tanks bound for the Golden Bear Refinery located at the Western edge of the Kern River Oil Field. I have been trying to catch this move since getting back into photography but as luck would have it the crew was at the end of their shift and ended up tying the train down at Seguro.

Mazda MX5 for sale by Bob Gotham

Mazda MX-5 1.8i Berkeley (Limited Edition) 1998/R. UK Car. Low milage. Amazing condition & looks stunning in the summer sun!

One of the best condition mk1 MX5’s on the road. Last of the mk1s. Selling after owning it for 5yrs as time for something new/different ie a 4x4 Pickup L200.

Tax

Ends Jan 2014. Just enough time to get it home, insure it and get it taxed ready for the summer!

MOT

MoT = End Sept 2014 (8 mths). It was MoT’d in Sept 2013 at 67,894 and taken off the road in Nov when we got the new car and waiting till after Christmas to sell it, and here you are now. So since it’s last MOT it’s hardly been used. I have loads of old MOTs certificates to go with it from 2001>2006 + 2008>2013.

Mileage

Low Mileage at just 68,333, that’s less than 4k a year average. Previous MoTs show the milage as 2001=11k, 2002=16k, 2003=28k, 2004=34k, 2005=39k, 2006=44k, 2008=50k, 2009=56k, 2010=59k, 2011=63k, 2012=65k and 2013=67k (today it is at 68k). As you can see we do above 2k-3k a year in it.

History

I have a wad of paperwork to go with it from me and previous owners. One previous owner was in the MX5 club. It had a new windscreen in 2009 as cracked. It comes with the original Mazda receipt when sold as new April 1998 (so it turns 16 this year), plus two second hand receipts (2005 and 2009)! Log book show it’s had 5 former keepers, be for 5yrs, previous for 4yrs.

Servicing

It had a full service in Sept 2013. The timing belt was replace in 2009 at 57,002 miles along with plugs and leads. It has been well looked after and service regularly. The Mazda folder it came with new has the handbook & service book. Service stamps are 1998=0.8k, 1999=5k, 2000=9k, 2001=11k, 2002=16k, 2003=28k, 2004=34k, 2009=57k, 2013=68k.

Berkeley Edition

Limited to 400 models this is number 134. Being a Berkeley this adds two tone black/grey leather seats, leather door trim, alloy wheels, Momo steering wheel, chrome luggage rack, chrome cross bar behind seats and a limited edition plaque.

Body

It’s Sparkle Green (a lovely head turning metallic bright green/turquoise). No rust and paintwork is is amazing shiny condition. When it’s summer and polished nicely it really does turn heads. The front bumper has a small area where the lacquer has tarnished and this is reflected in my asking price. A common rust area is the rear wheel arches, these are rust free as they have been replaced to a high standard. The chassis has some rust spots as per it's last MOT report (which it passed first time). Every time we see a mk1 we always say it’s not as good nick as ours! It was used as the family’s weekend/spare car. See pics.

Roof

Roof is water tight and had a new rear window installed 4yrs ago and is still like new. When we took the roof down we made sure the bars didn’t touch the window using a cover and thus stopped it getting damaged. We also unzipped the rear window before folding the roof down again to avoid the window being folded in half an creasing it like you see on a lot of mk1s. Basically the hood is perfect! When you come to view it we’ll drop the roof and show you how to do it to keep care of the roof/window. See pics.

Interior

Great sounding CD/Radio stereo by JVC with a USB cable for your iPod or USB stick. Manual windows. No aircon. Lockable glove box and centre consol. Leather seats. The Berkeley edition does originally come with a plastic stick on cover on the dash in a wood effect. This has been removed as it was faded when we bought it and as such is now the normal black dash but still look amazing. See pics. Drivers door window winder mechanism (not electric) needs attention as it won't go down.

Mechanics.

Manual 5 speed. 1.8 injection. Runs like a dream and being the 1.8 model it is pretty nippy! The suspension is spot on and as such handles like it’s on rails. I also have a workshop/maintenance handbook you can have too. Under the bonnet everything looks great and not steam cleaned etc just looks great. See pics.

Ownership

Owned by myself for 5yrs, previous owner had it for 4yrs. We did have a hard top for it so in the winter it was always kept nice and dry. We sold this last summer as it was starting to get tatty and we did intend to buy a new one for this winter but as we are now selling it we didn’t buy one in the end. You can get one for a few hundred but finding one in Sparkle Green may be hard!

Comes With

Tax till end of Jan. MoT till Sept 2014. Two keys. Stereo. Log book. Old MoTs. Handbook. Service book. Workshop book. Lots of garage paperwork. Old sales receipts. Cover for the roof when folded down. Spare wheel. A big smile as you drive away and a bigger one when it’s sunny and get the roof down. We also may have a can for Sparkle Green paint you can have that we had to spray the hard top we sold, if we still have it you can have it as this is a rare metallic colour and hard to match.

As you can see we loved this car, and it’s been loved by all previous owners and also well looked after. So we hope it goes to a good home….

Thank you.

well, not rails, I think its the wooden edges of a culvert that goes into the sea, but it looks like some kind of old slipway thing.

Point Peron, Rockingham, WA.

For those of you who don't know this area, there is a plan to develop a marina and luxury canal side housing development here. The West Australian state government has sold heritage bush land that was given to the people under strict preservation conditions in order to fund this marina and massive redevelopment

There needs to be some tidying up of the facilities in this general area as it is a little run down and under used, and I have no problem with that at all, but what the state government is proposing is unbelievable and selling native bush land to do it, especially in that specific place is criminal.

Have a look at this handsoffpointperon.com
