1991 Mazda MX-5 Limited Edition

Highlights

• No. 219 of just 250 UK Limited Edition cars produced
• Retains its numbered dashboard plaque
• Accompanied by a service history
• In current ownership since 2021
• MOT valid until June 2027

The Appeal

Introduced to celebrate a year on the British Market, the MX-5 Limited Edition was finished in a true Best-of-British Racing Green over tan, with BBS alloy wheels and wood-trimmed details conjuring up the golden age of the British sports car. Only 250 of them were ever produced, and they're one of the most cherished of that much-loved first generation.

This example, No. 219 of 250, has covered 44,006 miles and comes with a service history. It presents well throughout, with the full Limited Edition specification intact. Underneath, professional welding has addressed age-related corrosion. Mechanically, the vendor reports that it drives as a Mk1 MX-5 should, with a precise gear change and direct steering.

With its low mileage, documented history and increasingly rare Limited Edition specification, this MX-5 is a cracking, highly desirable example that's sure to attract plenty of attention at auction.
