Yeah . but these are scarce enough in good condition. I may have to get set redone but expensive enough and the material in correct colour is hard to get. I will probably end up having to use Colour Glo to match the shade

My own are starting to show their age. I will probably opt for recovering in time......and it will cost too I bet !!

What car is it Robert ? I don't recall seeing any with that interior when I was there last.

Hi, Ah I have it good few years . Its 1991 BRG V spec import with only 130k kms . Really great condition ,no rust but I am doing underbody refurb /powder coating job just to protect it going forward. Its 1.6 but good genuine car.Lovely tight driverm no rattles. It was easiest car I can remember , to strip apart. Also has genuine, Canadian made, Mazdaspeed? front lip. Not aftermarket as apparently the "original" Mazda front lips , back in the day, were made in Canada for some strange reason.I fitted Jackson Racing cold air intake kit (just bolts on ) so nice rasp off the intake. I am definitely not going to upgrade this car too much but was thinking of fitting 6 speed gearbox while I have eng/suspension etc out. Nice usable mod.My blue mx5 is too harsh for me to drive so Andrew can have that .I have finally decided to settle down!!

Sounds like a lovely car. Is it on standard springs etc ? Throw up a few pics when you're done ! The blue car has the NB engine, yes ?

Yes blue car has mk2.5vvt engine, 6 speed box, Torsen LSD, big brakes, alloy rad, roll cage, Mazdaspeed seat (very rare) ,KG Works instrument cluster, lots other bits n pieces.Great driverbut bot too noisy and bit bumpy with the lowered springs and Koni ? shocks, plus the 16in wheels dont help comfort.

The BRG one will be fairly standard with just few light mods. Built for comfort ,not for speed........like a good curvy woman.........
