White NBs

Postby MX5MANIAC » Wed Sep 13, 2006 12:07 pm

So Im on the hunt and i was wondering...how may white NBs are even in Oz, i'm yet to see one on the road. I've seen two for sale on websites, one ages ago, perfect but in Qld (i think someone on here bought it). The other had high Kms...so what are my chances compared to other colours.

I had heard that there were less than 70 NBs in total in either white colours. A's and B's have a different colour code for white and they are definitely different colours. Good luck finding one, not many floating around though. 8)

i love the NA in white, the NC in white looks great and i imagine the NB in white would look fantastic.

Color priority for me would be:

Blue
Black
White
Yellow.

Black is the colour which belongs to the NB's
Red belongs to the NA's

I love white NBs, given you like them I really hope you can find one.

I have only ever seen 2 in Victoria, 1 was in the CBD and the other in Flemington.... dont think they were the same car, the first one was lowered with a nice zorst on it and the second one seemed standard.

Then there was the innocent looking white NB with a little bat on the side cleaning up nearly everything at Winton on the weekend.

Austral Honda in Brisbane had a very very nice white NB8A with 60K on it in their yard a few weeks ago, but they were asking $25 :shock:

So there are some around.

MX5's look great in white - it is Japan's racing colour after all. Otherwise I'll take mariner blue as my next favourite colour.

I've bough two white MX5s - a '97 NA8 and a '02 NB8B SP. White was a special order colour in both cases, so not too many around.

one ages ago, perfect but in Qld

that would probably be a certain even rarer white NB (1 of 2) which replaced a kinda rare Silver NB (1/45ish) all part of 100ish NB's 8)

....and casey throws in his tuppence too, or is that the other 1 of two :mrgreen:
Went for a drive and there were slow cars everywhere, why are NC's so common . . . must be NC = Normally Cardiganed.

I only know of one white NB (the ex Mania one) which I think is now owned by Zoom Zoom.. It will be hard to find one but if you do try to use the colour as a reason to get a lower price as a lot of people think white convertibles suck. Recently I was putting some money into a parking meter and overheard two people talking about my car. They both agreed the owner must be an idiot for buying a white \"sportscar\" :roll:

NCs look great in white too. I saw a white one with hard top on Tuesday 8) hopefully no one will want it in 10 years time and I will be able to buy it cheap! Hands off I saw it first...

Yes - I had to kick and scream and threaten to pull my deposit before Mazda agreed to make me one in white - this was back in 2000 mind you. Imagine my surprise when I found out there was another.....
