To save others googling it. This is the blurb from InsideMazda in 2012 about the Venture Edition:
With spring just around the corner,
Mazda has introduced a new special edition of its iconic sportscar – the
‘MX-5 Venture Edition’. Available in
Soft-top or Roadster Coupe, this latest special edition of the world’s most popular open top sports car features upgraded luxurious specification, advanced technology, premium interior trim and exterior colours exclusive to the Mazda MX-5 Venture Edition.
Based on the Mazda MX-5 SE and Sport Tech models, the Venture is available as a 1.8 MZR Soft-top (SE) and a 2.0 MZR Roadster Coupe (Sport Tech) – with the world’s fastest powered retractable hard top, up or down in just
12 seconds – with a dozen items of additional equipment over the donor car and priced at £18,995 and £22,285 (OTR).
The Mazda MX-5 Venture Edition’s ‘
stand out’ specification features light gun metal 17-inch alloy wheels, front fog lights, chrome front grille, piano black fashion bars and special ‘Venture Edition’ badging.
Inside, the MX-5 Venture has stylish Havana Brown heated leather seats, leather steering wheel and hand brake with contrasting grey stitching, matching door trim, climate control air-conditioning, piano black dashboard accents, alloy pedals, cruise control (a first on 1.8 models) and,
for the first time on MX-5, a satellite navigation system. Supplied by Sanyo TomTom, the sat-nav features a fully integrated 5.8-inch touch screen monitor, 4GB SD card based map (45 countries), live services, iPod and Bluetooth® connectivity and complete multi-media functionality.
The Mazda MX-5 Venture will be available in three colours, the popular Metropolitan Grey Mica and two exclusive colours to this MX-5 special edition – Radiant Ebony Mica and Crystal White Pearlescent –
free of charge. A genuine special edition,
only 250 examples of the Venture Edition Soft-top and
550 of the Venture Edition Roadster Coupe will be available in the UK.
