Hi all, I have recently acquired an H-reg LE brg plaque number 006. I was interested to hear if this is the earliest survivor and what significance these LE models are in MX5 circles. The car has original BBS lookalike alloys and wooden steering wheel/gear knob/handbrake and tan leather interior.In good running order but will need an MOT. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated,Craig-new member to forum.
Hello Craig, welcome to the forum. Somebody will soon answer your query.
Hi Craig,
From the Bourne Road Mazda website, I have copied the following information about the Limited Edition.
Mazda MX-5 Limited Edition
The Limited Edition is based on a standard model and was introduced to celebrate the MX-5’s first year of production. Only 250 units were available between March and December 1991 and cost £18,249.00 when purchased new. This special version was finished in British Racing Green and sported colour coded 15" BBS alloy wheels. The interior was nicely trimmed with tan leather seats and deep pile carpet. Further enhancements included a wooden steering wheel, hand-brake grip and gear knob.
Each Ltd Edition model was supplied with a leather owners wallet and embossed key fob. The leather wallet shared the same brass plaque that was fitted to the vehicle dash. This plaque displayed the vehicles unique production number and a certificate was also supplied to prove the vehicle’s authenticity.
Standard vehicle specification also included central locking, electric windows, stainless steel scuff plates and a Clarion CRX111R radio-cassette above a distinctive analogue clock.
Its also worth noting that these cars were generally fitted with a ‘stick-on’ number plate … a ‘Mazda’ decal was applied to the right side of the front bumper instead of the normal badge too. It is also thought that 25 out of the 250 were reserved for ‘tax free sales or personal exports’ so there may have only ever been 225 in the UK.

I have number 066. Sadly hardly ever used now. It has a small spoiler on the boot. I assume that’s was added post factory? I would post a picture but how do you do that?
