THAT RED TOP! Just stop. This is getting out of control. That red just makes the car. If it wasn't already incredible already.

Also, your panda Corn's car. dang.

Thanks Adam. It's getting there. I am happy with the new mohair roof, old one was starting to get a bit tatty so it's another job from the to do list completed.

Silver car is getting abit of love too at the moment with the new Zoom Engineering centre console above and will be getting some other Zoom bit soon as I make some minor alterations.

Corns has been in hibernation over winter but goes in for its annual inspection test next week. That had some new carbon bits from Zoom fitted over the winter and has some fibreglass front fenders coming from CarbonMiata for a longer term plan/change.

Never thought a softtop could look THAT good but you really nailed it with this one! Excellent job James, really impressed how you manage to improve this car over and over again.

Thanks Victor. The soft top had been on the to do list since I got the car as it was a black vinyl top that whilst not awful was beginning to show signs of wear and tear. The mohair burgundy soft top adds a nice contrast matching the interior too. I still really like the nardi 60th anniversay wheel I got from you for this car. Think it's pretty much my favourite steerinh wheel and makes the interior.

Now I really, really regret not putting a burgundy cloth top on my car. That looks amazing!

Thanks. When I decided on a new mohair soft top I did wonder if the burgandy top would work with the car but think the contrast works well. If I didn't have the LE/S limited inteiror then it might look a little odd but think as I di it follows a theme which is OK.

A few changes to the interior in the silver car but not the best of photos but something I had promised to do when I bought the centre console a few weeks ago from Russell on here. The Zoom Engineering centre console now has a silver aluminium centre section to match with the Zoom Engineering radio console I previously had while the Nakamae door pulls have also been replaced with Zoom Engineering door pulls. Usual good quality of parts from Zoom Engineering and fits with my OCD for the silver roadster to have a mainly Zoom Engineering interior.

Some photos.

Thanks for the comment. I am happy with the changes to the interior in the silver car. I like the Nakamae vintage console but now the silver centre section is fitted to the Zoom Engineering console think the fitment of all the parts looks better.

That's very good!

I used to like my miata........These 3 are amazing! Congrats!

Yeah I have not had this part before. What with the interior updates on the black roadster this last year felt the silver car deserved some new goodies and that a complete Zoom Engineering interior was more in keeping.

Thanks. They are all a little bit different. The black roadster very much the retro 60's prodigy, the silver roadster more of a GT roadster while the white roadster is the barking terrier.

Slightly better photo showing the Zoom Engineering door handles in black leather.

Had a bit of a MX5 day today with various jobs done and completed.
1. MOT centre picked up and dropped back the Corns Roadster. It is now MOT'd (annual UK car inspection test) for another year. Whilst it came out of the garage gave it a decent clean.
2. The black roadster now has the Nielex electric window switch as this would not work with the Zoom Engineering centre console.
3. The silver roadster now has the Revlimiter electric window switch.
4. Jamie a fellow enthusiast popped round with his very nice retro blue MK1 and I helped fit the Nakamae vintage console and Nakamae door pulls. Cool looking car this one.









Jamie's car with the Nakamae vintage console fitted and Nakamae door cards. Super clean roadster this one.
