Mazda MX-5 Le Mans

The Le Mans was based on a standard 1600cc and shared the same engine and performance technology as the earlier BBR TURBO

Mazda built this unique special version to celebrate winning the 1991 24 Hour Le Mans in the rotary powered Mazda 787B

Only 24 units were manufactured between August and December 1991 and cost £20,499.00 when purchased new

The Le Mans was only available to buy in the same colours as the original 787B though it's known that three vehicles were later returned to Mazda UK ... one was repainted orange and the other two black. It is also rumoured that a fourth vehicle was later returned and repainted blue

Standard vehicle specification included central locking, electric windows, power steering, security alarm, scuff plates, alloy wheels and a full body kit

Each vehicle was also supplied with a leather embossed owner's wallet and a certificate of authenticity signed by Johnny Herbert ... the man who drove the 787B to victory
