I don't know if this has been said yet, but what Mazda is going to be
around in any restorable condition in 20 years? My Mom has a 1995 626
and the things allready showing signs of wear. I don't really know of
many newer cars that will be around in 20 years.
My Spitfire is my first project car (I had a car before it that was
given to me). I choose it over any other modern or old car because of
its simplicity and the bonnet. I love being able to access my engine
from three sides. I don't know if anyone has had an the misfortune to
have to work on these newer sideways mounted engines, but they're not
fun.
I don't personally ever forsee an aftermarket of parts for the Miata, or
anyone willing to shoehorn parts into the Miata the way I have with my
Spitfire (my resto job is being done in the 1950's rodding fashion. It
has many borrowed parts =)
