The Mazda Miata was introduced at the 1989 Chicago Auto Show. It was, in a way, a spiritual successor to the British sports cars from the 1950s and 1960s, with its lightweight design and uncomplicated appearance.
The 1st Generation Miata, also known as the MX-5, had a monocoque unibody and a 1.6-liter straight four. There were pop-up headlights and a finger-light shifter. In 1989, it won 'Car of the Year' from Wheels Magazine and several 'Best Sports Car' accolades from the motoring press during its eight years of production.
This particular example has covered less than 7,000 miles from new. It is currently in the care of its original owner. It was given many factory options, including a supercharger kit.By Daniel Vaughan | Apr 2017
