I actually love the mid blue. If anyone has one that they cannot stand the colour of you can donate it to my collection :D

My previous NA was red which is my favourite MX-5 colour and I am indifferent to my current titanium grey so I voted red. Many a time I just wish my current car is red. I maintain the external paintwork of my car with regular washing, claying, polishing and waxing, and it doesn't matter how much elbow grease I put into my current SE, the titanium grey just pales in comparison to a well polished and waxed MX-5. While the titanium grey is kind of new age, it's just a shade too dull and blend in incognito with the rest of the motoring humanity. I don't mind light blue on a non MX-5 but a blue MX-5 does nothing to me, and so is green. Oh, you have to shoot me to get me to own a black MX-5 or any black car for that matter. I mean, while I enjoy keeping my car clean, I am not that keen to constantly work at keeping a black car clean. Lastly, I'm also quite attracted to a yellow MX-5.

At least Evo Gold owners know they are in exclusive company. :wink:



Is this another colour I missed. Is this the name for the yellow. I must say I wouldn't mind a yellow one as well but only for the odd occasion and only after I have the red, mariner blue and white :D

The NA yellow is Malibu, Evo gold came out on the NB for a short time - also called Evo Orange in the USA (sorry Rodders :mrgreen: ).

I think you may be right. Although I voted Red, the only colour for an NA, the green with tan has that classic British look which I've always liked. Can't see myself in one though :(
This is my MX5. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My MX5, without me, is useless. Without my MX5, I am useless.

I guess because not enough people voted for British Racing Green (Neo Green) :D

I actually like the blue.

The sight of a white NA with it's matching hard top and the right wheels always makes me go WOW!

Never fails. :beer:

Give me a yellow one.

I wanted an NC so got a silver one, blue would have been nice also.

Now they have a yellow one.

There is a lovely Montego Blue NA8 for sale at the moment on carsales. I am regretting not adding that to the colour list. It is an awesome colour.

Sorry to labour the point but the NA bright yellow is MALIBU GOLD.
Sunburst Yellow is the colour of the NC which is totally different. Please refer to Juffa and Malibu for pictures of their Malibu Gold NA's.
