Have a read of this thread, mainly Cilves post on the second page, it makes interesting reading.

The figures he was given were 360 cabs sold, so probably a fair few left in existence now.

Hi!

Yes I was just going to check the Mazda magazine from about 2 years ago with the red cabrio in it.  It definately states the number in that article...if anyone can dig it out before me, (as I\'m at work right now)?

But I\'m sure as you say if those are Clive\'s figures, they\'ll be spot on!

(By the way the link didn\'t come up, but I think that I know the thread you mean! Will check...)

OK this is what Clive said in the other thread:

"These figures were from December 2000, so we are looking at 4 years ago, l can tell you there were only 360 cabriolets and that there were only 124 Gen 3\'s officially imported by Mazda, so it\'s obvious that a lot of Gen1\'s and Gen 2\'s simply don\'t exist any more."

Hi Colin

PM\'d you as you know  Only wanted to make sure as it was a lovely clean car

OK two connected questions - first one possibly silly, so apologies in advance ?

When the clocks get converted from kilometres to miles, does the speedo dial itself get changed AND the actual total kilometres covered converted to miles?

Or can you have a car which still reads total mileage in kilometres (rather than miles), but the dial is in miles and kilometres rather than just kilometres?

If you bought a fresh import car which is registering kilometres covered, how and where do you get it legally converted?

Many thanks!

Hi Lynn

There are companys who supply a new dial face, but generally you get a mph sticker to put over the kph, not as bad as it sounds, but, if i were you, get a nice set of white face indiglo dials to replace the black standard ones unless of course you are keeping things in concours standard. The second part of the question is up to you, the mileage/kilometer reading will stay as it is but once converted it will read in miles, once again there are places where you can have it converted to a mileage reading if you get what i am trying to expain. I am not sure on who does this, but i know there are companys out there if you do a search on google.
