Mazda MX-5 Gleaneagles

The Gleneagles is based on a standard 1800cc model and was introduced to mark three important values in the MX-5 ... tradition, prestige and quality. Only 400 units were made between October 1995 and May 1996 and cost £16,500.00 when purchased new

This special version was finished in Montego Blue and sported specially made 15" alloy wheels, Dunlop SP2000 tyres and locking wheel nuts

The interior was trimmed with champagne colour leather seats and a matching leather trim around the dash which continued through both door panels

Walnut 'effect' trim was used to finish the centre consol and complimented with a wooden gear knob and hand brake grip. The tartan theme was also continued through the gear shift gaiter

A black leather steering wheel featured a Gleneagles logo and a powerful Clarion DRX8175R single disc CD player provided the in car entertainment

The tonneau cover was also changed which now fitted more snuggly to the panel behind both the seats. This was also finished in a matching champagne trim with a tartan edge

The overall package of the "Gleneagles" is one of sheer luxury and high quality and each vehicle was supplied with a tartan owners wallet

Standard equipment also included a security immobiliser, cockpit brace, CD player and power steering

One of the cars remained in the hands of Mazda UK and was later raffled to raise funds to help send Scottish athletes to the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta
