Equipment
Polished Enkei wheels, Potenza tires, hardtop, wood Nardi shift knob and parking brake handle, power windows, power steering, air conditioning, CD stereo, limited slip.
Condition
Spotless engine bay. 128 miles on the odometer but reportedly driven regularly and had fluids changed at normal intervals. Very good, like new paint. Perfect interior. Kept like new cosmetically but, more importantly , mechanically as well. The M-Edition package with special paint, Nardi bits and hardtop is just icing on the cake. Has to be one of the absolute best NA Miatas on the planet.
Market commentary
This is as close to a new car as you can get, so while the price seems ludicrous compared to other examples of this vintage, it makes sense when you consider that it brought almost exactly what the sticker price was in 1997, another example of the futility of putting a perfectly good car away as an 'instant collectible'. The person who stored it for so long missed out on years of driving enjoyment, foregoing psychic income for zero financial income.
