What about obtaining spare parts for an imported MX-5? |
|
There is a long-standing myth (mainly perpetuated by Mazda UK franchised main dealers) that an imported MX-5 is somehow built differently to a UK specification MX-5, using different parts. In actual fact, ALL MX-5s are, and always have been, built in the same factory in Hiroshima IN JAPAN. They are not manufactured, or assembled anywhere else in the World.

Is it more expensive to insure an import? |
|
No. Back in the early days of importing, a lot of the mainstream insurance companies charged a premium for insuring an import. This was mainly due to the fact that they hadn’t bothered to do their homework properly!

What is the difference between an Imported MX-5 and a UK MX-5? |
|
All MX-5s have been built on the same production line in Hiroshima, Japan and there is virtually no difference between cars meant for the Japanese market and those sent to the UK. The only outwardly visible difference on Mk1 cars is a slightly different shape rear number plate holder, high level brake light and “Eunos” badges.
