Apparently there are 10 softtops that were sold in Canada:

In 2009 there were 97 CY MX-5's sold. 10 soft tops (5 GX, 5 GS) sold and 87 PHRT (38 GS, 49 GT) sold. GX models had a black vinyl roof and GS models had the black cloth roof. In 2010 there were 20 CY MX'5's sold, 6 soft tops (4 GX, 2 GS) sold, and 14 PHRT (4 GS, 10 GT) sold. So to total that up there were only 106 CY MX-5's sold in Canada in 2 years.
I like this colour in a PRHT as I think the black softtop kinda ruins the look.

Yah for some reason the special editions are often fully loaded in Canada… my 2008 icy blue one only came in fully loaded PRHT manual in Canada… but in the USA you could get it with an automatic and soft top.

Don't fit with a helmet on. Most people wouldn't fit unless you are under 5'5

Are the hard tops structural? I always assumed they were just a fairly flimsy shell.

Interesting to only some of us but Competition Yellow NCs are extremely rare - only offered for 2 years and I believe there are less than 150 that ever made it to Canada. The price is pretty reasonable as I'm seeing NC1s listing for $20k (crazy!). This is my second favourite NC colour after Velocity Red (the bees knee is the 2006 launch edition trim). The ad mistakenly lists it as an auto when it's clearly a 6 speed.

It sold pretty quickly. I wanted to take a look but had some travels that took me out of town. It's got a couple claims including a $5k front end within the first year of ownership, hence why the front bumper color looks totally off. The car got posted by like 3 sales guys on FB, and from all the pics, the car looked pretty worn all around. I guess it doesn't matter if it's a track car.

It's probably a blessing in disguise that I didn't go see it, despite me really liking the competition yellow NC - saves the headache of figuring out what to do with another car.
