Description

'96 Special Edition (SE) roadster. One of only 25 brought into NZ and one of only 22 still remaining on the road. All original including BBS mags, Momo steering wheel, Alpine 6 stack CD player. Original paint job so she has a couple of warts which add to the authenticity.

Featured in the Jan 2020 Classic Car magazine.

Never had any issues with it and has been serviced annually. Will get a warrant when required.

Hi. Which limited edition is it? There are many. Here's the guide... https://www.roadster.blog/p/specials-concepts.html thefist (248) • 6:08 pm, Mon, 12 Jan

Hi....to be honest im not sure. I've always just called it a Special Edition not knowing there were so many variations. It's very close to a M but that was released in '95 which is the production date of my one. (but first registered new in NZ in Jan '96). It's also close to a Eunos Roadster but that was '94. It would have to be in the "NA" group with the popups so maybe it's not listed on this blog site? Sorry i cant be of more help. thefarrs (32) • Monday, 12 January 2026

I recently acquired this exact spec! And can confirm it is a very special car indeed. If you have an email address I would be quite willing to share a copy of the original spec sheet and "special" marketing poster. haultain (308) • 8:38 am, Tue, 13 Jan
