General Indiana Specification Details

The Indiana is based on a Standard 1.8

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

The Indiana shared a lot in common with the Icon in 2000 and the Montana in 2002 in the way it looks and feels.

The Montana also had a Garnet Red exterior and although the Icon used a Art Vin Mica the colour was very similar, they both also featured a light tan/beige leather interior with wood trimmed dashboard. This incidentally was black on the top half and beige on the bottom half which broke up the normal mass of black plastic and was a welcome feature.

Cream face dials surrounded in chrome added to the very luxurious feel.

Other interior key features included a wood rimmed steering wheel, gear shift, and handbrake lever, and a wood trimmed centre console completed the theme.

The stunning beige leather seats were heated so the owner could enjoy all year round open top motoring. The interior carpets were also colour coordinated in beige, so no dirty boots in this car!

A matching beige/tan hood cover was also supplied to cover the retractable cloth roof when it was lowered.

The attention to detail was second to none and its not until you really start looking that you notice it, things like chrome interior door handles and even a chrome handbrake button, its little things like this that really make this limited stand out from others.

15" alloys wheels were fitted as standard, these were in fact the same wheels that Mazda were fitting to the top of the range 1.8iS at the time and really suited the overall look of the car.

Front fog lights were installed to improve the drivers visibility in bad weather and also helped the appearance of the front of the car, this was normally an option on the standard car at the cost of around £350.

Overall a very high specification modern sports car with a classic feel. If you are looking for a reliable "classic" then this is the car you have been waiting for, and all the time saved from not having to repair it every weekend can be spent driving it.
