Is that a real BRG Miata? Give us some details ;) miles, etc

To the best of my knowledge that's the stock color but it's not one of the 1991 SE, it's a 1996. I live in Canada and apparently there were BRGs for other years as well? Couldn't find much info about it on the net. Everything is pretty much stock or OEM and it's only got 88,000 km. I got it for 7K $CAN which was a pretty decent deal considering the hardtop and the really great condition it's in. Just came back from a drive at night in the city and it's just as fun as I hoped it would be :)

I'm gonna keep it mostly stock for now but I'll install a roll bar and change the brakes to do some autocross soon.

Edit: Can't find anything on BRG NA's other than 91's so apparently it's not a real BRG but I don't really care either way :P

It's in the shop... again getting the alignment and probably the suspension fixed.
 
That interior looks so freaking brand new. :eek:

I wish. The leather looks a little grayer than I'd like from accumulated debris, and the lower bolsters on the seats are looking a little deflated. But still, there's no tears in the leather and the plastic panels are all in good shape. The weakness of the interior is that it goes through phases where I'll hear a new plasticky squeak each day for a week, then it'll go silent for several weeks, then it'll come back. The worst of which is the subtle rattle that comes from the plastic piece where the seatbelt comes from. It's right by your ear, making it a bit maddening on silent drives. But overall, the interior is in good condition compared to most E39s.
