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.
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.
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 perfect drive is one everyone yearns to have in their lifetime; it's a moment of pure, unfiltered beauty when man and machine converge to become one. When one thinks of the “perfect drive,” one also assumes it comes with a hefty price tag for its exoticness. What if we had a way to bypass your bank account not being vacuumed out? Present today is the answer and takes shape with this 1991 Mazda MX-5 Miata Special Edition. With a reported 114,142 miles on its clock, this original special edition is a rare bird, ready to bring driving pleasure to its new custodian.
The common perception in the automotive world is that great fun behind the wheel comes at a hefty cost. The image of big price tags on dealership floors or even the thought of an aftermarket build can soon mean more trouble in one way or the other. Present today is a machine that was renowned to be a treat to drive the moment it left its factory floors and takes shape with this 1999 Mazda MX-5 Miata Roadster. With a reported over 26,000 miles run in, this modern Japanese classic sports smiles per gallon and can even be the foundation to your build journey if need be.
Automotive icons come in all shapes and forms; you have off-road legends that have conquered places no one has been, performance icons that ensure smiles per gallon, and luxury cruisers that bring you luxury like never before. Present today is an automotive icon that has been legendary since its launch and has never stopped. It's this lovely 2001 Mazda MX-5 Miata Special Edition. With a reported 21,858 miles on the clock, this limited-edition run of just 3,000 examples is not just an automotive icon but also a rare bird that guarantees driving memories every time you're behind the wheel.
One of the most legendary Japanese sports cars, the Mazda RX-7 is the one that truly dared to be different. While almost other cars have piston-engined powerplants, the RX-7 employs the rotary design pioneered by Felix Wankel several decades ago. Rotary engines are notably harder to maintain, but if done right, deliver smooth and powerful performance, as well as a distinctive soundtrack that is much-loved by aficianados. Also, they can rev pretty high, well over 8,000rpm in some cases. That’s why whenever an RX-7 like this 39,188-mile 1999 Mazda RX-7 comes on sale, they get snapped up quickly. This car resides in Tomball, Texas and comes with the legendary 13B-REW twin-turbo twin-rotor engine, a 5-speed manual box, a RE-Super G full widebody kit, and more.
Japan in the 90s was a proper time to be a petrolhead; each manufacturer was pumping out some serious machinery. Mazda was on a mission to showcase that you don't need a whole lot of cubic capacity to deliver serious performance. The key general leading this mission? The legendary Mazda Rx-7. A look at the marketplace for Mazda RX-7s reveals multiple options with varying price tags; the higher end is reserved for the rare birds that often get tucked away in collectors' most prized collections. Present today is this JDM 1992 Mazda RX-7 Type RZ ɛ̃fini. With one of just 352 Type RZ models, this is a true jewel of the Rx-7 world. The fun doesn't stop there; the current owner reports just under 23,000 documented original miles on its clock, with a grocery list of tasteful upgrades and a parts list to make it a real performance weapon at your local race track.
