Very interesting MX5 for sale on Gumtree. Does it belong to a forum member?

Interesting that one year ago it struggled to sell at 14k for a while....

That is interesting - may be betting on a bull market for NAs in original and good nick?

Does look like a nice unit nonetheless.

According to Brian Long's book: Mazda MX-5 Miata, the 1994 RS Limited should have Nardi black leather gear knob & black plastic handbrake grip. The 1995 R Limited had the wooden gear knob & handbrake grip. Doesn't seem like they really want to part with it.

My heavily biased opinion....;)

If You don't ask....you don't get

Only needs to find 1 buyer....;)

Lots of NA8's have high K's...and or have been heavily modified or have had a hard life with little care

Many are being parted out....

Original,Low K ,well kept ones are appreciating....
You can't demand respect....you have to earn it
NA8 for Fun, CX5 for carrying crap...;)

Sure buyers can vary items at the time of original purchase or later, but if you're paying almost $20k for an NA8 limited edition, then most buyers today, ie collectors will want it to be so called correct. Easy fix to get the black plastic handbrake grip, but bit harder to get an 70k km equivalent Nardi black leather gear knob.
