1991 Mazda MX-5 Miata Special Edition 5-Speed

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

The one-year-only 1991 Mazda MX‑5 Miata Special Edition celebrated the model’s runaway success with a touch of classic European flair.

Limited to roughly 4,000 units in the United States, it paid subtle homage to British roadsters that inspired the Miata’s original design. Finished in deep British Racing Green paint, each car featured a tan leather interior, matching soft top, and Nardi wood shift knob and hand brake handle, lending a refined, upscale character to the lightweight sports car.

In addition, this ’91 Miata comes with a body-colored hardtop, power steering and windows, power disc brakes, limited slip differential, 14” alloy wheels, color-matching mirrors, cruise control, and a Pioneer stereo with CD player, SiriusXM satellite radio tuner, MIXTRAX, and remote control. The sports car is powered by a 1.6-liter inline-four engine, mated to a five-speed manual gearbox.

This 1991 Mazda MX-5 Miata Special Edition is represented by a Broad Arrow Specialist and is now offered at no reserve with a clean Georgia title.
