Lot #134 - 2007 "Aston" Miata
Created by Jim Simpson of Simpson Design, this car is the only one of its kind in existence and will remain so. Built on a '07 Miata platform, the car had all sheet metal removed except for door skins and has custom fiberglass body work. The interior has custom seating and includes wood accents. Jim Simpson was featured in Hemmings Motor News covering his numerous designs and builds and is still doing custom work today at his facility on Whidbey Island, Washington. You can see more of his work here: https://www.simpsondesign.net/ This car currently has 25,750 true miles. It has a new Robbins cloth top ($950) and MSW custom wire, knock-off wheels at $6000, with new Kumho tires. Door handles are from a mid-60's Lancia Flavia. Over $60K invested in this unique auto. Includes a hard-to-find hardtop. Aston Martin badging is easily removed if desired and was placed by the owner.
This was a 12-month project with total costs (minus cost of the car) $50K. The paint is amazing. There are no chips or dings. Slight scratch in the paint where top attaches at the rear of the car, mostly covered by the hardtop. Fog lights are inoperative, just decorative.
