WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW HOW MANY LEFT?
PRICE WATCH
Concours £15,000 Excellent £5000 Usable £2000 Project £500
A rough base-model MX-5/Eunos can be had for £500; special editions cost more. There’s no longer a premium on late cars; spec, condition and rarity matter more. £2k buys a tidy 1.6 or 1.8, or maybe a sub-100k-mile 1.8i S. You’ll pay double for a BBR Turbo in similar nick. Immaculate sub-50k-mile MX-5s are £5-£7k, while sub-20k miles means £10-£15k.
