Is this the same car that is posted in the Monster Miata classifieds?

That's the one. Car has already generated some interest for those completing the conversion themselves.

Price is fairly steep for a Ford swap these days. If you wish to command that kind of money, I highly suggest you post as many high quality pics as possible and upload a video clip to Youtube so people can hear how it sounds. A Youtube vid can also be very effective at driving traffic to your ads if you link them in the description. Good luck with the sale, it looks very nice

Geez. I sold mine for 10k flat and it was comparable to yours if not better.

this is a FACTORY ORIGINAL limited edition miata.

Paint Code(on door jamb): HU

What's the color called? British Racing Green.

What year(s)? 1991 only

How many were built? 3,997

What was special? The first special edition Miata set the trend of what would be standard features for nearly every more lux Miata to come after it. There was a wood Nardi shifter and hand brake, stainless sills, AC, CD stereo, cruise control, and headrest speakers. The interior was tan leather and it came with a tan tonneau cover. The top was still black, though a hard top was an option. (This vehicle does not have a hard top)

The top may have been replaced, but is in very nice condition. It has a glass rear window. Could someone let me know if this is stock? I'm looking to upgrade some of the interior parts from a US company Clark & Clark. Shift boot, handbrake boot, seatbelt stalks, all leather...... anyone ever heard of them?

The value of a BRG as a collectible is when it is 100% stock.

V8 converted, I know of 8 91 BRG's just off the top of my head., I had one of them

The full repaint takes the car out of the collectability market as well.

Top is not original, interior trim is out of the Moss Motors catalog and does not add value either.

Martin (MM) built (can you confirm this with documentation, or do you just have receipts for the parts ordered from MM?), adds credibility, but nothing you have above doubles the value of the car over any other Monster Miata.

Value 5 years ago, maybe, but now with the other V8 conversion companies out there, along with a very nice kit for the 5.7L Chevy V8 motor, the market for the original "dated" cars have dropped by over 50%......


You asked, I answered, sorry for the bad news of a reality check.

Thanks for the input. Price is negotiable.

Pics of under hood and interior? Curious as to the level of attention to detail... The pics posted so far look like a nice car.
