Oxford Diecast Mazda MX5 Mk1 (open) Classic Red

Oxford Diecast

£9.95

In a dazzling bright red is Oxford’s Mazda MX-5 Mk 1 with its roof down. The Japanese motor manufacturing company launched the Mazda MX-5 as a lightweight, two –person sports car in 1989 at the Chicago Auto Show at a time when small ‘roadsters’ had virtually disappeared, so it was an instant hit and has remained so ever since, earning it the accolade of the best selling two-seat convertible sports car in sports car history.

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as OXFORD DIECAST LIMITED, number 02869520. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
