John’s passion is the Mazda Miata

He buys, rebuilds, drives and resells them. He has collected parts from years of buying and dismantling. He usually has a car he’ll part with so he can make room for a new project. Most cars are fairly stock and although he owns at least one of each body style Mazda Miata, he has a lot of parts for the A body (1989 thru 1997) and a small number of parts for the B body.

His home base is near Harrisburg, PA, within a barn that he once used as a horse boarding stable. As his interests changed and turned to the Mazda Miata, he named his place Miata Barn because he has lots of leftover parts. Even better is his vast experience working on them, driving them and fixing them. He purchases cars in most conditions and can help others in need of knowledge and parts.

He isn’t savvy with email and texting but prefers to communicate by phone. He enjoys visits and discussing the cars with other enthusiasts.  Catch him at 743 Ironstone Road, New Cumberland, PA 17070.  All visits must be arranged by appointment.  Call him at 717-991-5639 between 9 AM and 9 PM EST. He prefers in-person visits and will chat longer than that half hour you’ve allocated to the conversation. He loves to discuss MX5 cars and everything about them.

He polishes and shows select Miatas at local as well as distant events.  Let him know if you are aware of a car show he can attend.
