Hi Todd,



Actually that yellow thingie is a small Miatoy as well! It is a

Miata-shaped pillow, made by the owners of the Yellow Miata behind it. So

they even can dream on their Miata...



BTW there seems to be some confusion on the number of Miatae with factory

colors on that photo. The number is 12 (in Europe) and those are (from top

to down):

chaste white - black - mariner blue - red - yellow - neo green - silver -

orange - art vin - montego blue - laguna blue - dakar.



The neo green has the same color code as your BRG and yes, the orange is a

factory color as it was the Le Mans edition. The Dakar is the Starlight

Mica (I think) and the Montego Blue was actually sold as the Gleneagles

edition, with a very nice cloth interior (unlike any US edition).



So, actually the only color that is missing on this photograph is the

crystal white. All other Euro factory colors are present!



C'ya,



Petra
