I have recently bought a 40th anniversary in white however it looks as though Mazda could not be bothered to put any numbering on it, is there any way I can find out the number?
001 - 400 on numbered plaques were allocated for the 40th Anniversary edition when I took delivery of mine the sill plates were fitted but no plaques and the Dealer knew nothing about them and as seems usual were not interested in sorting it out but next day I found them in the Glove box so fitted them myself - a long shot but you could try Mazda UK customer services they may be able to help to track down your build number from the VIN.

I still think that Nemesis is a strange name for a Special Edition,
maybe a little too honest...

Sorry to say gents but ProDrive and Mazda didn’t actually number the cars. There is a thread on here somewhere based on “database scrapes” I think that lists PZ registrations chronologically with VIN numbers. Interestingly some VIN numbers are registered later than VIN later VIN numbers. IE: VIN10001 may be registered later than VIN10010.
Not to worry though they are still becoming rarer and are “recognised” as special.
