Hi all,
I have been an owner of my Merlot since 2021 and seem to come across more and more Merlots at shows and other events.
There is a Facebook group called “1996 Mazda MX5 Merlot Owners Group” and here we attend shows and try to keep track of the Merlots that are left.
If you have a MK1 Merlot or know of someone else who does, please reply to this thread or join the Facebook group!
Hope to see some new Merlots soon!
Blimey. In all my many years of Mk1-ing… I always really wanted a Merlot / Vin Rouge They just were a cut above the rest in micro-Jaaaag-wah cheeky posh-icity. To see that lot in a row is stunning. My Missus is looking at me and wondering why I’m drooling…
Did the one at the far end not get the memo about putting the headlights up? 
Had one many years ago. I visited the OC rally at Chatsworth 2010 and took shots of all the ones I could find there. Any of them in your group?
we still have a Merlot project car, https://merlotmotorsport.blogspot.com/ (and a blog that’s very out of date now!)
althoguh to be fair I think the only Merlot bit left now are the wing mirrors! The rest sold off or rusted away long ago…
Hi, to be honest the reason why I made this post is because I saw all the photos of your Merlots!
To my knowledge I don’t think I recognise any of the numberplates from the photos you have posted.
Some of them Merlots are still kicking about though which is good!
We currently have 244 members, but because we also have the different models of Vin rouge we don’t have an exact number of UK Merlots. Some members are still in the group even though they sold their car. I expect there is around 60-80 Merlots in the group in all different conditions🤣
The group owner started making a Merlot register, but it’s hard to keep updating often.
