There are likely many questions you have about this build. Although we don’t know all the answers, we can provide some helpful information.
This is not a former government car. Apart from the fact it is unlikely that any agency would ever require a 1.6-liter roadster with huge wheels, the argument goes that it would be able to go about 20,000-30,000. It would also have a lot of idle time if it were military-owned.
This car has covered 448,794 km since new. That’s a difference of 278,868 miles. This must be the most mileage-efficient Miata we have ever seen. We’ve seen many types of Miatas. We would say that we envy anyone who has the opportunity to drive an MX-5 for nearly 300,000. Miles. We’re not so sure.
The photos show that the car is in very poor condition. The car has suffered extensive damage to its exterior and interior. It has nearly 300,000 miles on it so it will probably need repairs. However, it is still a great project with lots of potential. It’s possible that this is why it cost $3,900 to purchase.
