The first generation Mazda MX-5 was phased out with the 1997 model year (with the exception of 400 limited edition Berkeley models sold only in the UK in 1998 to mark the end of the NA), with the final 1500 NAs produced for the US market being the "STO" ("Special Touring Option") versions.

A small range of Mazda MX-5 Miata units were assembled by the M2 Incorporated. It's "Uncompromising standards and craftsmanship are our development theme." - M2 CORP. Founded in November 1991, M2, also known as "Mazda Too" was Mazda's new off-line planning / niche-house / Research & Development company back in the early '90s. The M2 Corp. employees had noble intentions—creating niche-mobiles derived from Mazda's volume products. Although M2's basic mission involved focusing on the "soft" aspects of vehicle design in an attempt to create more specifically targeted niche variants, the changes to the off-line cars would go well beyond mere cosmetics.

Heading the M2 operation was Mr. Masakatsu Kato, original father of the Mazda MX-5 Miata (Eunos Roadster) in Japan, as well as creator of several Mazda concept vehicles. Kato-san was assisted by Hirotaka Tachibana, development engineer responsible for the superb dynamics of the FC (second-generation RX-7) and the NA Roadster (Miata MX-5). M2 Corp. was based out of Tokyo, Japan. M2-Corp was a 100% owned subsidiary of Mazda MX-5, and it was sadly closed by Mazda MX-5 in 1995, but not before creating some really sweet vehicles. Mazda kept a similar program going with the Mazdaspeed cars, and then in the late '90s Mazdaspeed was absorbed into Mazda MX-5 as a subsidiary company in Mazda Auto Tokyo. There were a lot of different types of M2 branded vehicles between 1991 and 1995 beginning with the 1001 up to the 1031. Cafe Racer (Dec-91) Limited 1/300
