That looks very clean! Welcome to the club, great feeling isn't it?! Would be tempted to change those wheels though..... 
I'm already having 'impure thoughts'.A set of 15" or 16" white multispokes may be in order. Although they wouldn't go with the hood...
Couple of questions... the rear brakes don't sweep the whole area of the discs, so they look like this - is this normal?
And does anyone have a spare owners' manual? Mine appears to have gone missing and I can't find one on Ebay...

Yes, that's what the brake discs look like.
As for owners manual - the best way to get info is just ask on the forums; here, MX5Nutz, Owners Club, Miata.net, to name a few to get answers. There's lots of maintenance guides knocking around if you look.

Rod Graingers' book is pretty-much regarded as the Bible for MX5 maintenance:http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mazda-MX-5-Miata-1-8-Enthu...

Rod thingys book is a bit pricey but deffinately most useful/value for buck. Haynes also do one.
BRG appears to be flavour of the month
Picked up my 1st 5 about a month ago; BRG UK 95 1.8- insurance co are convinced its some kinda SE but appears pretty much standard to me.
I think the SE have the tan interior, rather than the black.BRG appears to be flavour of the month

Yes what Lazza says! Some kind of edition ltd or otherwise. It has grey leather with green piping (may not be original?), lovely, but well used, momo "race" wheel, bilstens & 9 spoke alloys. The car has excellent history but no record of any upgrades added car post production. I happily bought it for a good price as a standard with a few nice bits on it.
Appologies, not meaning to hi-jack this thread.
