We can use a stock, early red Miata for a photo shoot. The shoot will take place in Daytona Beach, Fla. If you have one and are willing to participate, let me know.

How many shades of red are allowable?

Now THAT is the true Grassroots answer.

If it's an early red Miata with original paint, it will be several shades of red.

Unless it has been garage kept, that owner must have a faded toolbox.

Given how ubiquitous that particular car is, perhaps a better question would be: "Anyone NOT have a red Miata?"

I did, but it's two/thirds of a Locost now :)

I have one, but it's in crestview, and the red paint is under 1/16" of truck bed liner...

It would appear that a red Miata that's both stock and has good paint isn't ubiquitous at all.

EXACTLY! what did you expect asking a bunch of budget car modifiers if they had a stock car?

Mine is stock looking by design, but it's also silver and has a really faded top with a yellowed/brown plastic window.

DO you think that seat will fit in my 944? I need a seat.

Red Miatas are so rare why not a more typical color like Laguna Blue?

I have one but I live way outside of Seattle:-)

I have a shiny 95 that looks like new, but in Kansas City. Let me know if they are ever interest in shooting up in this region.

When I Red the title of this thread, I thought for sure that you'd have no problem finding someone. Mine is blue (or green or something, I don't know). And I'm 900 miles away from you. Otherwise, you could use mine.

Good luck!
