The British Roadster type of cars was extremely popular in the Fifties, Sixties and Seventies. However, come the Eighties and the genre was basically dead. That is, until a manufacturer from halfway across the world would introduce a groundbreaking Roadster, and one that is an icon, as well as a benchmark to this day. Enter Japanese automaker Mazda with their MX-5, or Miata as it is known in Japan. The MX-5 redefined the formula of the affordable, rear-wheel-drive Roadster, and remains a much-loved car in 2022, on its fourth generation. If you’ve been lusting after an MX-5 (and there are many who do in North America), this first-generation 1994 Mazda MX-5 M-Edition is a great ticket to satiate your lust, with just 19,500 miles on the clock. Only 3,000 M-Editions were produced, and all for the USA.
Exterior and Interior
Jinba Ittai, loosely translating to ‘Rider and Horse’ is the philosophy by which Hiroshima-based Mazda created the MX-5 around. It means that the car should be as light and compact as possible while adhering to global safety requirements, accommodate two occupants with little wasted space, and possess a front-mid engine driving the rear wheels. There are other MX-5/Miata considerations, but they are enough for a separate article. This 1994 Mazda MX-5 M-Edition for sale by its original owner presents the clean lines of the design in a straight black paintwork, and possesses those uber-cool pop-up headlamps. A hardtop is included in the sale, and the car wears racing tires with reportedly less than 200 miles on them. The rear spoiler and side flare panels are present and correct on this car as well. There’s an aftermarket roll bar for added safety. As you can see in the photos, the car wears a black bra on the front end to keep it safe. The tan interior accommodates two occupants who will be having the time of their lives once the MX-5 gets going. There’s interior wood laminate trim, a wood-tipped gear shifter knob and handbrake lever, air conditioning, power windows and even cruise control! There doesn’t appear to be a radio, but you can fit your own if desired, and if you look closely, the seats appear to have the in-seat speaker option, although we’re unsure if the speakers are installed within the headrests, or will need fitting.
Engine
The Mazda MX-5 isn’t just a Roadster for looks, it’s also a great entry-level racing car and a safe platform for rookies to gain their skills, and professionals to hone them. It’s not uncommon to see many racers dip their toes into the water behind the wheel of an MX-5. Why is that? Lift the hood of this 1994 Mazda MX-5 M-Edition and you’ll find a 1.8L in-line four cylinder engine that produces 129hp and 110lb-ft, sent to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. Not particularly earth-shattering, but the svelte 2,200lb kerbweight means sprightly performance, and the double wishbone/multi-link suspension all round endows it with great handling. That’s why the MX-5 is such a great learning platform; it is a safe and predictable handler with enough power, but not too much to get you in trouble. All-round disc brakes are on hand for stopping duties. The M-Edition adds a Torsen limited slip differential.
The 1990 Mazda MX-5 Miata helped redefine the modern sports car by returning to the fundamentals of lightweight design, balanced handling, and driver engagement. Showing over 90,000 miles, this first-generation NA Miata remains true to the original formula with its naturally aspirated 1.6L inline-4, rear-wheel-drive layout, and 5-speed manual transmission. Finished in Classic Red with a black interior and black convertible soft top, this example features enthusiast-focused additions including 15-inch Konig wheels, a front strut tower brace, limited-slip differential, and an upgraded audio head unit, making it a well-equipped example of Mazda’s iconic roadster.
This 2017 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF Launch Edition SV represents a limited-production version of Mazda’s iconic lightweight roadster, combining the classic Miata driving experience with the added refinement of a power retractable fastback roof. With only approximately 4,569 miles, this one-owner example is part of the Launch Edition run limited to just 1,000 units produced for the U.S. market. Finished with exclusive styling elements, premium Auburn Nappa leather, and a balance of performance and everyday usability, this RF Launch Edition showcases the spirit of Mazda’s legendary two-seat sports car while adding a more sophisticated grand touring character.
Widely regarded as one of the purest driver's cars ever built, the Mazda MX-5 Miata has earned its reputation through lightweight engineering, balanced handling, and timeless roadster styling. This 2001 Mazda MX-5 Miata Special Edition is an exceptionally desirable example, showing just 15,866 miles from new. Finished in exclusive British Racing Green over a tan leather interior with a matching tan convertible soft top, this one-owner roadster is #914 of only 3,000 Special Edition models produced. Beyond its rarity, this Miata has been meticulously preserved, having been garage kept, stored on a battery tender and off the concrete during the off-season, and reportedly never driven in rain or snow. Accompanied by its original documentation and factory accessories, this Special Edition represents one of the finest NB-generation Miatas available.
This one-owner 1987 Mazda RX-7 Turbo II comes from the era when Japanese performance cars were still light, mechanical, and unapologetically driver-focused. Showing approximately 149,717 miles, this FC-generation RX-7 combines Mazda’s turbocharged rotary engineering with classic rear-wheel-drive balance and a 5-speed manual transmission. The Turbo II specification is what gives this car its enthusiast appeal, pairing the intercooled 13B rotary with distinctive period styling, pop-up headlights, a hood-mounted intercooler intake, rear spoiler, and 16-inch alloy wheels. For fans of 1980s Japanese performance, the FC Turbo II remains one of Mazda’s most recognizable rotary-powered sports cars.
