Roadster script colours

Post by Ants » Tue Oct 21, 2008 5:09 pm

I'm sure I have seen something in the last week during my searching regarding what the different colours of the script mean, but do you think I can find it again? If anyone can point me to the correct direction it would be appreciated. On the other hand, you could tell us all about it again! :) I know it is to do with different specs, but can't remember what they meant. Cheers.

Hi. The information that I have says that the NA6 (1.6 litre) MX5 had a black badge and the NA8 (1.8 litre) had a red badge.

but Ants' possibly has green..? I think think 96 in some models had
green (NZ new or imported - I can't remember)

I think the NZ Club's past mag editor Nigel Every wrote something in Top
Down mag on it a while back...

cheers

Thanks for that Ian, but how about green script? Someone wrote a piece about it I think, but I can't find it again. Anyone know where it might be?

IIRC, It is series II 1.8l engine (133hp) produced from 1995 (from NA8C-400007).
