The vendor has provided the following:

Icon was a 2007 special edition available in the UK. The car was based on the standard model 1.8 and 2.0 option pack model, both with the 5-speed gearbox. There were 875 1.8 models and 375 2.0 models. Available in a choice of three patriotic colours: Copper Red Mica, Stormy Blue Mica, and the unique solid colour Marble White, it seems this edition was all about celebrating and acknowledging the MX-5's roots in classic British roadsters. The red, white, and blue colour options would appear again a few years later for the 20th Anniversary model. This is the third time "Icon" has been used as a special edition name.

The entry-level 1.8 was originally priced at £16,825, with the 2.0 costing a little more at £17,825; the extra equipment included was said to be worth £1500. Despite being a special edition, the car's specification is not particularly high, but then neither was the price. The top Sport model's specification easily beats Icon with its 6-speed gearbox and Bilstein suspension, but then it costs more to begin with. However, the attraction and main selling point of the Icon comes from parts included that would not otherwise be found on a base model.

The most notable feature is the black leather seats, which aren't heated, but they did come with an embossed "Icon" logo and matching stitching depending on the car's paint colour. Copper Red and Marble White cars had red stitching, while Stormy Blue had blue stitching. Air conditioning, Icon-branded floor mats, stainless sill plates, chrome roll bar trims, leather steering wheel, leather handbrake handle, leather gearknob, and Icon front wing badges were included on all models. The 2.0 litre also benefits from having the Super LSD, Dynamic Stability Control with Traction Control, and height adjustment on the driver's seat, so you could optimise your driving position a little better than on the 1.8 car.
