sang the voices at the end of Mazda's TV commercials in 1989 and
early 1990s and it can just feel right all over again with this
early production (10/89) 1990 Crystal White Mazda Miata Roadster,
proudly presented by MotoeXotica Classic Cars. Good early examples
finally seem to be gaining some traction in the marketplace but for
collectors, though, ultraclean, low-miles early Miatas like this
example are the most desired! Built on October 1, 1989 in
Hiroshima, Japan, this car entered the US at Port Hueneme,
California and was sold in Port Midlothian, Texas (Gulf Coast
Mazda). The original Kansas family owners had the Miata all the way
to 2014 and then sold it to the previous owner in neighboring
Kansas City. There are not many unmolested stock earl NA MX-5s left
like this one with fewer than 30,000 original miles on the clock!
The 1.6L inline four-cylinder engine uses a�DOHC�16-valve alloy
head with a lightened crankshaft and flywheel to allow a 7,200-rpm
redline. An aluminum sump with cooling fins is an unusual feature
of this engine. The standard�transmission�was a five-speed manual,
a unit derived from the one used in the Mazda 929. The gearshift
was the subject of close attention during development, with
engineers told to make it shift in as small a gear pattern as
possible and with minimal effort. The car's original Crystal White
paint and associated trim is in excellent shape, with only the most
minor of blemishes possibly visible upon very close inspection. The
glass panels are in excellent order, too, and it has a new Robbins
black vinyl folding top (installed October 30, 2015) with no rear
window defroster but the backlight is glass, not plastic. The car's
lights are in great condition, as are the factory alloy wheels,
surrounded by General Altimax RT tires, size 185/60R14 at all four
corners. This little roadster's body panels are all solid and
straight, the engine bay is very tidy and the cargo area and
battery are both in good order. Driver convenience features include
air conditioning that still blow cold, power steering and power
brakes ("A" Package). Inside, the car's original black bucket seats
are in very excellent shape, with matching carpet in good order.
The black instrument panel is in one piece and crack-free and the
four-spoke steering wheel houses the driver's airbag. Looking for
the remote fuel filler release? It's within the center storage
binnacle, under the driver's right arm. The door panels, mirror
glass, center console and shift lever are all in very good
condition. Rounding off the interior is a factory AM/FM stereo with
CD player and cassette. The body shell of the NA was all-steel with
a lightweight�aluminum�hood. Overall dimensions were 156�inches in
length, 65.9�inches in width and 48.6�inches in height. Without
options, the NA weighed only 2,150�lbs.�Drag coefficient�was
indicated as 0.38. Suspension was an independent double wishbone on
all four wheels, with an�anti-roll bar�at the front and rear.
Four-wheel disc brakes, ventilated at the front, were behind alloy
wheels with 185/60HR14�radial tires. Documentation includes
original owner's manual, original brochure, copy of AutoCheck
history report and more than $800 worth of vehicle maintenance and
service tickets including a new OEM timing belt and hoses.
According to the AutoCheck report, this vehicle has not been in any
accidents since new or had any other issues reported. Competition
to this Mazda in 1990 included Alfa Romeo's Spider, BMW's 318i
Cabrio and Mercury's Capri Convertible. If you remember those lazy,
hazy summer days in the early 90s, before you married and before
you had children, when Mazda made a two-seater that had all the fun
of British MGs and Triumphs without the maintenance hassles, you
really need to come check this performance enthusiast roadster out
in person before someone else buys it! This car is currently
located at our facility in St. Louis, Missouri. Current mileage on
the odometer shows 29,485 miles and is actual by proof of the
Carfax and the warranty/service history provided. It is sold as is,
where is, on a clean and clear, mileage exempt title. GET OUT AND
