Elettronica Giocattoli Remote Control Ferrari 250 LM

 I Briefly owned this 1966 remote control toy car made in Italy. Internet research shows this as being the very first commercially available wireless remote controlled toy. Came in the original box with all manuals and wording written in Italian.

1991 Mazda Miata

I recently purchased this 1991 Mazda Miata. I was able to purchase the car form the original owner who kept it in almost showroom condition.  This car is  1.6L with 5 speed manual. It is an "A" package car with power steering, AC, limited slip rear axle and leather wrap steering wheel. The car is a lot of fun to drive. I wouldn't call it fast but very fun. New Falken RT615's were installed right after purchase to replace the old tires that were on it. Other than the tires and an oil change the car has been maintenance free. So much has been written about the Miata driving experience over the last 30 years a quick google search will come up with hundreds of driving reviews. The only way to understand is to take one for a drive. It is such a pure driving adventure.
Many car hobby experts are putting the first generation Miatas on their collectables list.
