From my understanding a non-programmed key would be able to unlock the car doors, would it also be able to start the car with the immobiliser removed?

That is correct, once the bosch immobiliser has been bypassed

Is your car an early car and has or had the Bosch Immobiliser like Malcolm mentioned?

If you have a later car, then it will have a TEMIC system, which means you will need the correct key, that can be programmed to match the Temic, it will however still unlock the doors.

Believe it’s an early car. 1995 with non colour matched wing mirrors. Haven’t got the immobiliser to hand but believe it was a black Bosch unit

Sounds like you just need a basic key, just make sure it's the correct length, see if they can use a Mazda one.
