General Berkeley Specification Details

The Berkeley is based on a Standard 1.8.

Details of the extra equipment fitted to make this limited Edition are listed below.

The limited edition Berkeley commemorates the last of the MK1 MX-5's to come off the production line. Finished in a unique Sparkle Green, this special colour changed shades according to how the light caught it.

Unique 15" 5 spoke alloy wheels were also included with locking wheel nuts, and a chrome boot rack looked very smart on the rear boot lid.

A individually numbered plaque (1 - 400) was installed on the centre console and the owner given a special Berkeley key fob.

The interior featured black and grey leather seats with matching door panels, a leather Momo steering wheel and black leather gaiters on the handbrake and gear lever.

A Clarion DRX5375R single CD player which was housed in a dark burr wood trimmed centre console.

A Chrome brace bar was installed behind the seats to add to the rigidness of the car.

There was no ABS installed or electric windows but still remains a very sought after car, If you are after a late MK1 then this could just be the car you are looking for.

Remember this was the last MK1 limited edition so second hand values remain very strong, although very few owners actually want to part with them so finding one in good condition may prove to be quite difficult.
