21-Years-Owned 2001 Mazda MX-5 Miata Special Edition 6-Speed

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

When Mazda replaced the original Miata's pop-up headlights with fixed units for 1999, the second-generation NB kept the lightweight, rear-drive formula that made the first car a hit. Two years later, Mazda gave the NB its first significant update. The 1.8-liter four-cylinder gained variable valve timing and a rating of 155 horsepower, a six-speed manual joined the options list, and the plastic rear window gave way to glass with a defroster.

That same year, Mazda looked back to 1991, when the first British Racing Green Special Edition gave the Miata a nod to the British roadsters that inspired it. The 2001 Special Edition revived the idea: British Racing Green paint over tan leather and a tan top, with a Nardi wood-rimmed steering wheel, wood shift knob, parking brake handle, dashboard accents, and more.

The seller acquired this Miata Special Edition in 2005 and has since installed four-way adjustable shocks, a MagnaFlow exhaust, and a chrome luggage rack. The odometer now shows approximately 54,300 miles, around 6,000 of which are said to have been added over the last 21 years by the seller.

This 2001 Mazda MX-5 Miata Special Edition is now offered at no reserve with a car cover, manufacturer's literature, a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report, and a clean Connecticut title in the seller's name.
