This 1997 Mazda Miata M Edition is a nicely preserved example of Mazda's iconic first-generation roadster, finished in the distinctive Marina Green Mica and tan color combination exclusive to the 1997 M Edition. With only approximately 3,000 produced, these special-edition Miatas have become increasingly desirable among enthusiasts.

The exterior presents very well, featuring the factory M Edition alloy wheels, unique badging, chrome luggage rack, and matching tan convertible top with a zippered glass rear window and defroster. The deep green metallic paint pairs beautifully with the tan interior, giving the car a timeless, classic roadster appearance.

Inside, the cabin remains in very good condition for its age and mileage. The tan leather seats feature M Edition embroidery, complemented by unique instrumentation, wood-trimmed shift knob and parking brake handle, and special-edition door sill plates. The factory stereo remains in place, and the air conditioning blows cold.

Powered by Mazda's 1.8L DOHC four-cylinder engine paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, the car runs, drives, and shifts well. Recent maintenance includes four brand-new Toyo tires, a new windshield, fresh oil and filter, and new spark plugs and ignition wires.

This two-owner example shows normal cosmetic wear consistent with its age and 135,000 miles but remains a clean, mechanically sound, and enjoyable driver's car.

An increasingly appealing example of the original Miata, offering a desirable factory color combination, limited-production M Edition details, and the lightweight, engaging driving experience that made the NA-generation MX-5 legendary.
