The NA generation MX-5 started it all for us, manufactured by Mazda from 1989 to 1997. The Club has had a Historic Register for a number of years with almost 60 cars currently on historic or classic registration. This run was aimed to bring out as many NAs as we could, and by the turn out we succeeded!
