duPont REGISTRY Live is proud to present this 1990 Mazda MX-5 Miata, an exceptional early example of the first-generation NA Miata, showing just 495 original miles. Finished in Classic Red over a black cloth interior, this car remains remarkably original and represents one of the most recognizable modern roadsters ever produced. With its 5-speed manual transmission and ultra-low mileage, this Miata reflects the lightweight simplicity and balanced driving dynamics that helped establish the model’s reputation worldwide.

Power comes from the Miata’s 1.6-liter inline-four engine, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission driving the rear wheels. The NA-generation MX-5 was engineered around a lightweight, balanced chassis, utilizing four-wheel independent suspension and four-wheel disc brakes to deliver responsive handling and precise driver feedback. The platform’s compact size and near 50/50 weight distribution became a defining element of the Miata’s appeal and remain central to its enthusiast following.

Inside, the cabin features black cloth upholstery with high-back bucket seats and a simple, driver-focused layout. Equipment includes air conditioning, cruise control, power windows, and the original factory radio with cassette player. The dashboard retains its black-faced analog gauges, emphasizing the straightforward and functional design that characterized early Miatas. The interior presents in excellent condition, consistent with the car’s exceptionally low mileage.

The exterior is finished in Classic Red, complemented by a black cloth convertible soft top and the Miata’s signature pop-up halogen headlamps. Additional exterior features include 14-inch Daisy-style alloy wheels, one of the most recognizable wheel designs associated with early NA models. At some point during its life, the front bumper and front fenders were repainted for reasons unknown. The finish presents well overall and remains consistent with the careful preservation of the vehicle.

Accompanying the sale are three keys, the original owner’s manual, service records, and factory paperwork. With just 495 original miles, highly original presentation, and the timeless simplicity that defined the first-generation MX-5, this 1990 Mazda Miata represents a rare opportunity to acquire an exceptionally low-mileage example of one of the most influential sports cars of the modern era.
