This 1993 Mazda MX-5 Miata is one of approximately 1,500 Limited Edition examples built for the model year, all of which were finished in Brilliant Black over red leather. The car has been registered in Louisiana and Texas from new, and it was purchased by the seller in May 2018. Work under current ownership has included installing MeisterR ZetaCRD coilovers and replacing the timing belt and water pump. It is powered by a 1.6-liter DOHC inline-four linked with a five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential, and additional equipment includes a body-color removable hardtop, 14″ BBS wheels, a rear spoiler, air conditioning, and cruise control. This Limited Edition NA Miata shows 84k miles and is now offered with a May 2024 inspection report, the owner’s manual, spare parts, and a clean Texas title in the seller’s name.
The car is finished in Brilliant Black and features pop-up headlights, chrome door handles, painted mirror caps, a convertible top boot, a rear spoiler, a power antenna, and a single exhaust outlet. A March 2003 entry on the Carfax report notes that the car was “inspected after an accident or other incident,” which resulted in damage to the rear. The seller indicates that the car was backed into during current ownership, and the front spoiler, bumper cover, emblem, and turn-signal indicators were subsequently replaced. The replacement soft top needs to be adjusted, a crack is evident on the hardtop, the windshield wipers operate slowly, and discoloration is noted on the trunk lid. A May 2024 inspection report is viewable in the gallery, and it indicates dents and finish imperfections on the body.
The 14″ BBS wheels are mounted with Ohtsu FP0612 A/S tires. The car is equipped with variable-assist power steering, an independent double wishbone suspension, front and rear stabilizer bars, and four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes. MeisterR ZetaCRD coilovers have been added. The primary brake cylinder leaks, and rust is evident on the nearby surfaces.
The cabin features bucket seats upholstered in red leather along with color-coordinated door panels as well as a black upper dashboard and center console. Interior amenities include aftermarket speakers, air conditioning, and cruise control. The stereo display does not work, the driver’s window lifter sticks intermittently, cracks are present on the dash, and wear is evident on the seats. A spare first-generation Mazda Sensory Sound System head unit is included in the sale
The four-spoke steering wheel wears a worn leather wrap and frames a 140-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, and gauges for oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows 84k miles, approximately 11k of which were added under current ownership.
The 1.6-liter DOHC inline-four was factory rated at 116 horsepower and 100 lb-ft of torque. The timing belt and water pump were reportedly replaced in 2021, and the oil was changed in May 2024.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. A replacement clutch and lighter flywheel are said to have been installed in 2021. Corrosion is noted on the control arms and frame.
The Carfax report shows the aforementioned damage.
