http://www.mx5-mazda.co.uk/lemans.htm"Only 24 units were manufactured between August and December 1991 and cost £20,499.00 when purchased new
The Le Mans was only available to buy in the same colours as the original 787B though it's known that three vehicles were later returned to Mazda UK ... one was repainted orange and the other two black. It is also rumoured that a fourth vehicle was later returned and repainted blue
Standard vehicle specification included central locking, electric windows, power steering, security alarm, scuff plates, alloy wheels and a full body kit
Each vehicle was also supplied with a leather embossed owner's wallet and a certificate of authenticity signed by Johnny Herbert ... the man who drove the 787B to victory"
