1996 M-Editon Miata 85,063 miles
For Sale by original owner
John Shugars, Richmond VA

My 1996 M-Editon Miata, an 85K car which is mostly original condition, is for sale. I am the original owner. I have made a few changes to enable track-day fun, but the car has never been raced or abused. Sale is because of my physical constraints due to recent knee surgery, not any issues with the car. It was a daily driver for the first 10 years and has been used only occasionally since. The car has Virginia antique registration. OEM parts replaced as below are still with the car.

Details are as follows.
The car is in largely original condition and the following are all in good condition:
- original Starlight blue Mica paint
- original soft-top in good condition with undamaged window
- original carpets and trunk liners
- original alloy wheels
- all original drivetrain
- original AM/FM radio with cassette and CD (Sensory Sound System) with anti-theft system
- original Mazda Keyless Entry/Security System
- an OEM hardtop purchased later

The following track-day modifications have been professionally installed and all the replaced OEM parts are included with the car:
- Hard Dog roll bar
- Koni adjustable shocks
- Simpson 5-way CamLock restraint system seat belts - 4-point installed, crotch belt not installed
- MazdaSpeed seats
- low back-pressure stainless steel exhaust

Other features:
- pneumatic hood link strut
- fire extinguisher
- 4-lamp headlight modification (not installed)
- 4 steel rims without +res
- 6-piece Mazda Club of America fitted soft luggage

Issues:
- a scratch on the trunk lid from installing the hardtop
- airbag system sensor inoperative (SAS sensor is not available from Mazda any longer but the 4-point seat belt system provides equal or better safety)

Mazda Sports Cars of Washington (MSCW), Social Group List Serve

MSCW club folks,

I’m  the original owner of a 1996 M-Edition Miata with ~85K miles on it and was an active member of the Mazda Sportscar Club of Washington until my wife and I moved to Richmond in the early 2000’s (the club membership sticker is still on the windshield) .  Sadly, due to knee replacement surgery on both my knees I can’t really get in and out of the the car or drive it like it should be driven any longer. Hence I have to sell it and would like to post it for sale on the club’s email listing. It’s a very original car in excellent condition with few modifications other than to set it up for track days. 

Thanks,
John Shugars
