Whoa! Right hand drive Miata in America!

Pacific Grove, CA

You have to look closely to see exactly how much time and effort and money this Mazda Miata owner has sunk into this amazing 1st generation model. The RHD is most intriguing; I've never seen one in America. I don't know if he imported a RHD from Japan, Australia, UK, etc or if he converted to RHD from LHD. Then, there's an unlimited list of upgrades such as the Nardi/Momo style wood steering wheel, chrome roll bars, true wire spoke rims, hood scoop and bumper mounted induction vents indicative of a supercharger, BMW Z8-style chrome mirrors, BMW Z8-style chrome fender vents, chrome trim rings on the dash and even contrasting color piping on the otherwise factory style leather seats which have the headrest speakers. The only mods that I personally don't like are the body color taillight covers and the quad tailpipes (I'd prefer dual pipes). Regardless, kudos to this owner for creating a beautiful and unique Miata!
