When legislation that threatened to kill the sports car for ever failed to emerge, one of the first to return to the market was Mazda. The MX-5 was designed as a completely up to date car with all the charm of the earlier roadsters. Tuning companies quickly entered the market to upgrade the amenable engine and Mazda approved a turbo conversion in Britain boosting the power to 150bhp. This is a book of contemporary road and comparison tests, technical data, driver's impressions, long-term tests, racing, buying used. Models covered include:- MX-5/Miata, Racing Dynamics conversion, SE, LE, 1.8, PFS SC, M-Edition, 1.8iS.
