What was special? This has to be one of the most interesting NB Miatas ever built. At the behest of the SCCA, Mazda agreed to build 50 Miatas with absolutely no options. 25 of them would have the soft top, while the other 25 would just have the removable hard top and no soft top.

What's the color called? Vivid Yellow and Laser Blue were exclusive for the special order cars, but you could also get them in Crystal Blue, Midnight Blue, Pure White, Brilliant Black, Emerald Mica, and Starlight Silver. Just 10 were ordered in colors that weren't Vivid Yellow or Laser Blue.

That's no Scot, he's a Geordie.
