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. |

Huet Brothers working on new Miata-based retro coupe
Wed, 14 May 2014Does the name Huet ring a bell? The Dutch brothers started out doing classic car tours in Europe before they started designed and building their own retro sports cars. The first was called the Huet Brothers Special. It was based on an old Triumph TR6 and surfaced back in 2009. But a few years later they started showing designs for a new coupe that called for a straight-six engine under a long bonnet with a fastback roofline, and started taking orders. Over the past two and a half years we didn't see anything materialize out of the Huet Brothers' plans, but word out of the Netherlands has it that the design is back on the table.
According to the Autovisie section of Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, Tino and Paul Huet were planning on building their coupe on the base of the MX-5 Miata. But now that Mazda is preparing to launch an all-new model, the Huets have decided to wait until next year and build their dream car on the new Skyactiv roadster chassis.
Rather than trying to shoehorn in a bigger engine (or the subsequent diesel model that was set to follow), the Huets are reportedly prepared to stick with Mazda's four-pot, offering it in stock form and various states of upgraded tune.
Suzuki recalls 2 million cars globally
Wed, Apr 22 2015Suzuki is recalling two million vehicles across the globe, including a number of Chevrolet Cruze sedans that it builds for General Motors, because the ignition switches may begin to smoke. None of the Cruzes being recalled were sold in the US, though. This recall is limited to the Japanese, European and Australian markets. In Suzuki's home market, 1,873,000 vehicles are being recalled, including the Cruze and a number kei cars built for Mazda (the Carol and AZ-Wagon), as well as the automaker's own Alto, Wagon R and Swift. Affected vehicles were built between 1998 and 2009. The remaining 133,000 vehicles include Cruzes and other Suzuki products sold in Europe and Australia. There have been no reports of injuries or accidents due to the 67 reported incidents, all of which come from the Japanese market, a Suzuki spokesperson told Automotive News. Related Video:
Mazda builds 4-millionth Mazda3
Tue, 25 Feb 2014To say that the Mazda3 is a vital product for Mazda would be one heck of an understatement. In fact, the model line accounts for about 30 percent of the manufacturer's sales. Fortunately for Mazda, they're selling well.
These days, the Japanese automaker is building the Mazda3 (known domestically as the Axela) in Japan, China, Thailand and, as of last month, in Mexico. The company's expanded global production capacity has helped Mazda reach four million units of the Mazda3 sold around the world since the first model was introduced over ten and a half years ago.
Over the course of that decade since its introduction in June 2003, Mazda has gone through three generations of Mazda3, the newest model benefiting from the company's Skyactiv technology and even encompassing a hybrid model in the Japanese Domestic Market.
