The first-generation Mazda MX-5 was first introduced in 1989 but it still commands a strong following of fans until today. To help support these enthusiasts, the Japanese carmaker launched a restoration programme for the model in its home country back in 2018, followed by North America in 2019.
Now, the programme has been expanded to Europe, so Mk1 owners can purchase official reproduction parts to keep their roadster in tip-top shape for longer. According to Mazda, there are now 117 left-hand drive and 156 right-hand drive vehicle parts available to support first-generation MX-5 restoration projects.
These parts were chosen based on consultations with specialist retailers and MX-5 fan clubs across Europe, with all of them being manufactured in Japan. While they may involve using modern methods and quality materials, they still retain the look and feel of the original components.
