Japan’s most notorious replica maker, Mitsuoka, has just released another special edition version of its Mazda MX-5-based Himiko roadster. This time, Mitsuoka has crafted a rag-top variant of the Himico Classic Edition, which was available up until now only with a power-retractable roof.
The soft-top model gets the same two-tone, black and red exterior color scheme with a decorative chrome strip running on the sides, as the hardtop Himiko Classic HT. Inside, the stock MX-5 interior is spruced up with red-leather seats and splashes of ornamental wood trim here and there.
The long-nose roadster, which pays homage to classic British automobiles like Morgan’s creations, is available with the MX-5’s 2.0-liter four-banger producing 170HP when linked to a five-speed manual and 162HP when combined to a 6-speed automatic transmission.
Production will be limited to 20 examples with prices starting from ¥4,880,000 (about US$56,500 or €43,400) in Japan.
