Mazda will show off the fruits of its labor at
January’s Tokyo Auto Salon by premiering three original-generation MX-5 Miatas
which have been restored through the recently-established NA Roadster Restore
program.
The three Miatas bound for Tokyo come painted in
red, white, and blue and will reveal to MX-5 enthusiasts how the automaker can
breathe new life into the timeless sports car. Mazda says it will start
accepting commissions from Miata owners on December 13 for restoration
projects.
Beyond offering its own restoration services, the NA
Roadster Restore program has put numerous parts from the NA-generation Miata
back into production, namely the fabric roof, Bridgestone tires, Nardi steering
wheel, and shift knob of the car.
To ensure the highest quality restoration service
possible, Mazda has received certification from the Japanese division of German
standards organization TÜV Rheinland on every aspect of the restoration. The NA
Roadster Restore program will initially be offered exclusively to Japanese MX-5
owners.
