Pre-production 1990 Mazda Miata on 2040-cars
Roswell, Georgia, United States
|
1990 Pre-Production Mazda Miata "Barn Find" (actually a storage unit find). Manufactured March, 1989. According to internet sources VIN 00090 was the first Miata available for retail sale. This makes VIN 00013-00089 Pre-Production cars (the first 12 were crushed). https://sites.google.com/site/miata00508/ I am a Miata owner since 1990 and have several Miata's in my collection. If you desire a Miata collection there are a few must haves; 1991 BRG, a 1992 yellow, a 1993 SE, and a pre-production 1990. While there are 4000 BRGs and 1500 Yellows there are only 77 pre-production 1990 Miata's! If you have read this far then you are interested in it for the serial number and future collectability and not as a daily driver (there are 500,000 other Miatas to buy for daily driving) 00064 first sold in Colorado but lived most of it's life in New Mexico and North Carolina. It was driven daily by the previous owners and now sports 145k miles. I have gone over this car top to bottom - documenting several assembly line paint pen marks and unusual fasteners that mke it different from later Production cars. It runs and drives great and is nearly 100% original including the smooth case diff! The one major item I have noticed is the core support, hood and front bumper cover are not original apparently due to an accident early in its life. Otherwise it is rust free in all the usual spots (quarters, trunk floor and floor pans) but it does have some very minor surface rust on the front fenders that will need to be taken care of when repainted. The white paint is peeling in spots (like all white 1990-1992 Miata's do - Mazda had a TSB to for a repaint through 1992) so a repaint is in order for this collectible and should not detract from any collectible value. Shocks are dated Feb 1989, Wheels and center caps are dated Mar 1989. I inspected under the carpet for a build sheet but one was not there. I do have the Mazda Service history pulled from their database and includes the original owners name. you tube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rttDS_lUnA&feature=youtu.be Shipping if your responsibility (or drive it home). If you have less than 20 positive feedback I reserve the right to cancel your bid/BIN. |

Mazda rolls out unlimited mileage warranty in Canada
Fri, 14 Nov 2014Cold weather might be starting to grip parts of Canada, but our neighbors to the north are going to be able to drive their 2015 Mazda cars and utilities from Vancouver to Montreal with a little more peace of mind. That's because Mazda Canada is instituting an unlimited mileage warranty for its new models.
The updated plan starts with all 2015 model year vehicles (even those already sold), and the scheme simply removes that distance limit on everything but the emissions defect coverage. That means that the Mazdas have one year of service adjustments, three years of new vehicle coverage, five years on the powertrain, seven years against corrosion and three years of roadside assistance for as many kilometers as the owner drives.
The change removes at least one, tiny piece of anxiety about buying a new vehicle because it's easy to know when the coverage ends. "By offering our customers an Unlimited Mileage Warranty, we believe it will enhance their ownership experience by alleviating concerns such as kilometre limitations, repair costs and resale value," Kory Koreeda, president of Mazda Canada, in the automaker's announcement.
LA Design Challenge invokes biology for 2025 concepts [w/poll]
Wed, 13 Nov 2013Participants in the annual LA Design Challenge always manage to come up with edgy, wacky designs for future vehicles, but with a theme of "Biomimicry and Mobility: 2025" this year's crop of cars might be the quirkiest we've ever seen. As usual, automotive designers from around the world participated in this year's competition, and all the designs will all be unveiled next week during the LA Auto Show with a winner being announced on November 21.
Chinese automakers made a strong showing with Qoros, SAIC Motor, JAC Motors (the company responsible for the Ford F-150 clone) and Changfeng all bringing interesting takes on the biology, human intelligence and sustainability theme. One of the more innovative ideas among these automakers is the Qoros Silk Road System allows autonomous vehicles to drive in packs similar to how ants travel. Speaking of ants, the SAIC Motor Mobiliant (shown above) gets its design from the shape of an ant's body, and, like the insect, it can climb building acting as a personal elevator as well. The JAC Motors design also merges vehicle and building design, while the Changfeng LaBrea inspired by the design of muscle fibers.
Other entrants include Subaru and US-based design teams for BMW, Toyota and Mazda. BMW's duo of concepts mimic plant and animal life. The LA Subways concept acts as a submersible, single-person vehicle to take advantage of the LA river, with a shape similar to an Ocean Sunfish. The Sustainable Efficient Exploratory Device (SEED) imitates the shape of a seed pod, and uses propulsion methods inspired by a shark, dragonfly and a water bug. Mazda's Auto Adapt might be the most car-like concept of the bunch, while the Subaru Suba-Roo and the Calty-designed, Toyota e-grus are the most mind-blowingly awesome.
Top Gear recounts the fiery demise of the Mazda Furai
Mon, 02 Dec 2013This past September we reported on Top Gear's destruction of the Mazda Furai, one of the finest concept cars to ever grace an auto show stage. It turns out that the Furai, which was burned nearly beyond recognition at the hands of the British magazine, was actually destroyed back in 2008, and that the entire thing had been covered up for five long years.
Now, a few months after publishing that heart-wrenching composite of a half-baked Furai (shown above), the lads at TG have published their account of just what resulted in a priceless concept car being transformed into a smoking hulk on a Suffolk runway. Click over to read the full story about just what happened, along with pictures of the Furai before, during and after the inferno.
