They started the numbers at 100013 #100,000 to #100,012 were prototypes according to what Graeme " Geebeez " told me.
Graeme mentioned that he got the actual production date for the car through Mazda New Zealand - a very helpful guy gave him the details.
Must follow that up myself as the other methods of finding out using information from the NZ MX5 Club doesn't seem to work for second hand imports - the VIN does not equate to the NA6CE sequences. Others may know more.
There were about 8 or 9 MX5's mainly NA's two in BRG, two in Blue including #100107, some red and an NB in bronze..
Mine at Chassis #148784 is well down the list as a 1991 model.

John B, was there too with his Mercedes 280SL - had a good catch up with him as well !!
No internet this time in Auckland, hence no posts -my phone is too hard to read on the TRS website.
