i have just bought my first MX-5 2001 Sport

i was told by the seller that it is a limited edition Nardi Torino. It does have a NT steering wheel but I cant find any reference to Mazda releasing  a limited edition car with that name! Can anybody enlighten me? Cheers

There was no Nardi Torino limited edition. It could be another limited edition or a normal Sport model. Any other details on the car or photos may bring something To light.

Thanks

it seems to be a normal mkii sport but has Nardi Torino lable on the steering wheel. Is that a normal wheel for the model?

Nardi Torino was just the model of steering wheel fitted by Mazda to these cars. I think its often the case that garages embellish the identities of cars to make the sale.

I thought the Nardi branding was replaced with a Mazda wings logo on 2001 models assuming that your car is a facelift model. It could be a late registered pre-facelift though.

The Nardi logo was retained, just moved, I’ll correct myself “Torino” is just where Nardi is based, not the model of wheel.

thanks for all your help

what do you mean by ’ a face lift model’ though?

mine is registered late as you say in October 2001 it’s a 51 plate

Which steering wheel do you have? The top or bottom one?

Yours is a facelift model then, referred to by many as a Mk2.5
