It's South Australia with recently expired rego. Looking to find out more about the car for the original owners. Dec 1989 red NA. Might be a different colour by now?

There appears to be a reference to that registration here from March 2005:

Here's the text from the post:

Right rego, right year, wrong color

This was my car until it was written off. The car was built by me and the rego plates also made up and purchased by me through Vicroads. I still have the plates on my current mx5.

Cheers,Mark

South Australia, not Vic.
