In the Spring of 2021, MSM # 409353 was parked snuggly in it's garage when the house became engulfed in flames eventually destroying the home and most of its contents, However, the car survived mostly intact although the aluminum hood melted through in places, the headlights were mush. The Titanium Grey paint was badly charred by the flames, the soft top burnt down to its frame and the windshield had exploded from the extreme heat.

This burnt-up Mazdaspeed Miata, with almost no part of the car spared, the engine bay was charred beyond recognition the interior just a memory, was obviously dead and just needed a proper burial.
