What are the extras I should be looking for when buying an MX-5?
If you’re looking at a Eunos, it should have everything already- electric windows, power steering & airconditioning. If you’re looking at an Irish/UK car, then it might not have any of the above! Specials were limited edition models brought out by Mazda. Things to look out for here are tan leather seats, and wooden steering wheels, and almost always in BRG (British Racing Green, or Irish Racing Green, if you prefer!)

Glass rear windscreens are relatively rare on
