Pictures of Early 89 - 90 Miatas with single hole core support / reversed wiper motor

[—atank—]

Show us your early Roadsters, lets see who has the single hole core supports and the reversed wiper motors. Post pics.
These are the Roadsters that some collectors (or people like me) are starting to search for, I have two...............

Core Support with single circular hole:



Reversed Wiper Motor:



Here is a 1991, notice the core support and the wiper motor:

are you talking about the front support? I know that on the later cars with ABS they moved the wiper fluid tank to the right side hole. So what is the wiper motor difference, I cannot see what you are talking about in the pics?

On the early cars the wiper motor faces the engine, on the later models the motor faces the passenger fender....

Here is an early 90 Miata, notice the wiper motor (facing the engine) and the front core on the driver side (no hole).

Why would this matter at all, and why would it be desireable? In other words, why would the wiper motor add value to the car at all? I'm not trying to be negative, but I find this very insignificant in adding value to a Miata. I would imagine that an LE, BRG, or yellow would be more collectible than the positioning of a wiper motor.

I did not say anything about being more valuable than any limited production models, these above mentioned Miata's were the first to roll off the assembly line.

Because people get bored and look at cars a lot, then find small variations and want it.

Also this would probably only apply to VERY low mileage cars in pristine condition.


Maybe "The Driver" or "Medition" can weigh in on the collector market?

I just wanted to see if anyone here has one of these EP Miatas...................

That's right... on my BRG, I am going to turn my wiper around and weld in a patch over my driver's hole (that doesn't sound right). It's gonna be super duper rare & desirable.

DRIVER'S HOLE

My BRG had the front clip replaced, and there is no hole on the driver's side. Never paid any attention to it until this came up.

Does it have a low VIN #??? Check the last six.................
