1997 R package Miata options

[mx5driver]

what options were availible with the 97 R package. Wondering if any of the 47 total made are AC cars

[WASABI]

As far as I know, AC was never a factory option on an R Package car. The point being, and R Package was meant for racing, and AC was counter to that (as was power steering, and power windows).

Pretty sure that you had to pay Extra for A/C, and Extra if you wanted the radio.

AM/FM/Cass was standard on the "R", the only option from the factory was AC, A hardtop could be sold and installed at the dealership level only.
