My new purchase.......V-Spec???

[dan1981]

Hi All,

Finally joined the club!

Picked up my new MK1 1.8 Eunos on saturday.

Love it already.... while i was trying to get the insurance sorted the car appeared as a V-Spec edition import.

What is a v-spec?

The v5 etc just has it down as a mazda mx5.....

Cheers

Dan

Then the V5 is wrong. In fact it's a Eunos Roadster and technically not actually a Mazda at all (even though it obviously is). Eunos was a range of Mazda cars sold in Japan under an alternate name much like Lexus for Toyota.
They have made at least 2 special editions a year every year of the cars life from the very first year right up to the Mk3 in 2005 (possibly continuing with Mk3). V-Spec was one of these. Have a look here (Help > Eunos) for the spec for your year.

Cheers its a 1994 L plate..... and its white.

But its got electric windows and power steering.....

It doesn't have leather but does have a Momo steering wheel.

It also has a little rear spoiler which leads me to think it may be an S special?

Hmmmm or maybe its just where someone has added bits ad pieces to it!

I usually says on the door shut sticker.

Also most special editions either got the chrome speakers covers and / or bilstein suspension.

Hmmm no chrome speaker covers, infact i havn't noticed speakers in the doors at all - seem to be coming from the headrests - but like i said not leather.

Suspension does seem firm, and car looks quite low. Possibly aftermarket tho...

Look on Miata.net in think FAQ's it tells you all the limited editions and how to decode the info sticker on the door shut.
