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 mulling furniture, designer goods in bid to command higher prices
Wed, 01 Oct 2014Brands like Porsche and Ferrari make a mint every year by selling branded lifestyle goods like shoes, hats and even wilder items. Bugatti takes things to the extremes with things like its $84,000 belt buckle. These products not only make their respective companies some extra money, but they reaffirm their high-end design aspirations to wealthy buyers. However, the next firm possibly dipping its toe into this upscale pool is a bit more mass-market - Mazda.
That's right. The Japanese automaker best known among enthusiasts for its segment-defining Miata and rotary engines is considering its own line of luxury goods in the coming years called Mazda Design. The project is the brainchild of styling boss Ikuo Maeda, and according to Automotive News, he has backing from company CEO Masamichi Kogai. Although the green light isn't quite on yet, Maeda is already brainstorming. "Not only furniture, but I'd like to build a Mazda Design brand. That's my dream," he said to Automotive News.
The possible project is just one aspect of Mazda's move to become a near-premium brand. According to Automotive News, it wants to see higher transaction prices partially by offering more stylish design than its rivals. Launching a line of luxury goods is meant to communicate this new focus to customers.
Mazda3 sedan revealed by Top Gear Russia [w/poll]
Wed, 03 Jul 2013Thanks to our comrades at Top Gear Russia, the trickling reveal of the Mazda3 sedan has begun. We saw the hatch in person in New York (and loved it), and we wanted to see if the trunked version could hold onto the same mojo. If you like the Mazda6, then you should like the Mazda3 because it takes just about everything from its toothsome big brother and shrinks it into a compact package.
Top Gear Russia was allowed to share photographs of the Mazda sedan they call "Treshka" (or they leaked them, depending on whom you talk to), but not their drive impressions. The site page says it will come in four trims for the Russian market - Drive, Active, Active+ and Supreme - and offer three engines. Our specifications will certainly differ. Other than that, all we have to go on are the looks, which some may argue are even better than the hatch thanks to a trunk line that provides more balance to that long hood up front.
The Mazda3 will go on sale later this year and US prices should be announced in September. For the time being, content yourself with the gallery of high-res images above.
Mazda Hazumi Concept previews next Mazda2 in Geneva [w/videos]
Tue, 04 Mar 2014The official photos of Mazda's Hazumi concept leaked out yesterday, but we have finally gotten to see it in real life at the Geneva Motor Show. Our view is that its Kodo lines looks as good on the diminutive car's sheet metal as they did in photos.
The Hazumi was designed to appear to be bursting with energy, and it seems to deliver. While Mazda refuses to actually say that this is the concept for the next Mazda2, it makes it clear that the little hatchback is "foreshadowing Mazda's next-generation subcompact car." We can all read between the lines.
Hazumi also introduces the new Skyactiv-D 1.5-liter diesel engine but details about it are scant at the moment. The specs for the engine are still unannounced, but the company promises that it is both very efficient and has lots of torque for its size. Mazda is also promising that its Mazda Connect infotainment system will be available in the car too. Scroll down for the brief press release a brace of videos that celebrate the tiny concept's arrival.
