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
