Hi

I'm after a hardtop and was wondering whether there's any difference between the NA, NB, NC? I have a NA8 and looking for a black one. There's a couple of cars on car sales with a hardtop but there NBs - can I use them?

Thank you.

There are a few differences but all NA/NB ones will fit your NA8. NC ones won't.

The differences were only ever little things like demisters, roof linings, etc. I don't know how these differences were distributed though sorry. I'm sure someone else here will be able to help.

There is a very thorough FAQ at miata.net that answers this question in detail. You might want to check it out.

as a general rule, the earlier ones had no lining/ padding & no demister, but late '89 to early '05, i.e. all NA & NB fit the same, excluding differences in demister plugs where present.
