Vehicle Details

1991 Mazda Miata, British racing green edition. Previous owner purchased car around 2013 and garaged it for 10 years without driving it. Upon purchasing in 2023, I found that the gas tank had a lot of rust, so it, and the fuel pump, had to be replaced. Also, had the timing belt, alternator belt and power steering belt replace. Also, replaced the water pump, and had an oil change. Tires had flat spotted so had new tires installed as well. Have driven ~ 2000 miles since then. While the exterior is in fairly good condition, the paint does have some chips and the rear trunk lid has some sun fading. The front nose piece has some "dimples" as shown in the pictures. Not sure what they are from.  The hard top is in great condition and the original soft top is good although the plastic rear window is cloudy. The air conditioning does not work and I have not explored that at all to see what it would take to get it going. The previous owner informed me that all the body panels have matching numbers with the exception of the left front quarter panel. I have no other details on that. The interior shows wear on the drivers seat, as shown in the pictures. The passenger seat is in very good condition. The plastic areas in the dash have some cracks at different places that were there when I got the car, I haven't bothered to replace those items as they didn't bother me that much. The previous owner used a cleaner on the dash, (which is painted from the factory) and it seems to have softened the paint as it is "tacky". The car runs very well and shifts nicely with the only issue being that occasionally it is hard to shift into reverse without first shifting into 5th. From searching the Miata forum, that seems to be a somewhat common thing. There is virtually no rust on the underside of the car. It is very solid and fun to drive. The wheels are off of a 1997 Miata and I do have the original Daisy wheels which will go with the car. Also have the original tonneau cover. While it does show its age as a 33 year old car, it is very solid and has been very reliable. I have tried to list all the faults so there are no surprises but overall I think it is a great car. With a little effort, most of the items I have listed could be rectified. Car is sold "as is". Local pick up only. Car is located in Harrisonburg, VA.
