THE MAZDA MIATA
Launched to clamorous acclaim at the 1989 Chicago Auto Show, the Mazda Miata was an immediate hit creating demand that way outstripped production. The Miata was perceived as the spiritual successor to the British sport cars of the 50s and 60s with its uncomplicated, back-to-basics, lightweight design – an English soul dressed in a Japanese suit of reliability.
The 1st Generation Miata, also known as the MX-5, featured a monocoque unibody which reduced flex, and coupled with a forthright 1.6 liter straight four, offered extreme response and agile, feathery handling. The MX-5 is instantly recognizable for its pop-up headlights and stubby finger-light shifter and earned 'Car of the Year' from Wheels Magazine in 1989 and several 'Best Sports Car' accolades from the motoring press over its eight years of production – it even garnered a staggering 5 stars from the infamous Jeremy Clarkson.
THE MOTORCAR OFFERED
Miatas are drivers cars and most were well driven. This unusual example has covered less than 7000 miles and has been lovingly cared for by its original owner. The Miata was adorned with every accessory one could find for a Miata including a super charger kit that dials the fun up a few notches.
One would be hard pressed to find a lower mileage and better kept Miata than this one. The white paint is in fine shape as is the dark grey cloth interior. As you would expect the car runs superbly and feels like a new machine.
No doubt a future collectible the interest in first series Miata has already become apparent. The chance to get one of the nicest of this conic sports car should not be missed.
