    As the owner of a 1990 registered MX5, i found your programme enthralling. My car has 70,000 miles on the clock, has a mega rare, professionally fitted towbar, detachable hardtop, chrome roll over bar and a stainless steel boot rack. It was undersealed from new in Japan and the panels are lazer straight and totally rust free. A respray is needed and i'm saving up a little every week from my pension, i'm 75, but when i go out in this superb little driver, i'm 35 all over again. I live in Deal, Kent, which is a coastal town and summer cruising is wonderful, just me and my dog, superb...

      Hi Peter, I'm so glad you enjoyed the video enjoyable. Your car sounds like a lovely example and I hope when you get the respray it further enhances your enjoyment of your car. Mine is also in need of a respray and I'm looking forward to having all of my panels featuring the same versions of Neo Green, as over the years it seems to have changed slightly from panel to panel. Deal must be a lovely place to enjoy the MX-5, and what better co-driver could one possibly ask for?

    I never saw this come up in my feed before. But I watched it from beginning to end. Thanks for confirming what I've always know about my 1990 NA. It's a special car. You see mine is painted in the design studio in California test colors of late 1989. Namely the Seafoam green. A little more special it has a Jackson racing MK1 SC under the bonnet (hood). I simply love this little roadster. And I have a few to compare it to. This car truly has brought back the roadster and FUN cars to the marketplace. Now 30+ years it's more significant then some others you might see at car shows even if it gets little respect from some in attendance. Yes the answer always is M I A T A

  • @Happymali10
    @Happymali10 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    In Germany the car was so sought after, dealerships imported Miatas (even in 89) individually, with a huge mark-up.
    Even today, a lot of MX5 NAs are Miatas.

    • @AveragetoPoor
      @AveragetoPoor  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      That's interesting to know! It's amazing that buyers were so willing to pay such inflated prices for the car given that one of its primary draws was supposed to be its affordability.

    • @Happymali10
      @Happymali10 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@AveragetoPoor Well in part it was the press' fault.
      An early article on the car in Germany's biggest car-magazine, for example, said Mazda will only bring 500 to Europe, since it's meant to be for the US only.
      That, together with tons of praise it generally got, created A LOT of buzz.
      And then we were supposed to wait a year, and got (more than 500 but) only very few cars each month/year.

    After 18 years of ownership of various miatas, I didn't know all the details you provided for in this awesome video! I had 2 1992 sunburst yellow miatas and neved knew that is was originally a white car with a coat of sunburst yellow oversprayed over the white paint! I always thought it was a 3 coat yellow paint! I also ignored that the original color on white cars had a clear coat sealing it :O

    I own a 94 and in a way I'm surprised the Miata even made it to production.
    Mazda made the RX7 at the time, had competition (British roadsters, Alfas), the fox body Mustang (I own a 91) could be had with a manual in coupe, hatch and convertible configurations and the MR2 nailed the baby Ferrari mid engine RWD layout/look. The Mercury Capri and eventually the Ford Probe, which was originally pitched to replace the RWDnMustang, completed the FWD front engine idea, and despite the niche market it sold like hotcakes and thank goodness Mazda did their market research and continues to produce the Miata.

    So informative, I was transfixed for the whole hour! I never realised that there were so many special editions and by the same token have wondered why certain NA's fetched such a price; now I know. I have a 2002 MX-5 Mk 2.5 1.8 sport, a joy to drive and own. It's nice to understand fully it's pedigree. Thank you.

    One of, if not, THE best video on the NA. You made me realize how passionate I am about this model when at the last 5 or something minutes I was really feeling moved and tearing up. Exceptional film, I really hope to get one for myself one day!
