Researched and written in Japan with the full co-operation of the
factory, The Book of the Mazda MX-5 Miata is the story of the third
generation of Mazda's MX-5 - a car that re-invented the affordable
lightweight convertible, a breed that many thought was extinct as the
1990s drew near. Successful immediately, the MX-5 (also known as the
Miata, or Roadster) spawned many imitators, but remains the world's best
selling sports car of all time. The series has now been in production
for more than 30 years, with new generations following the concept of
the original, much to the delight of fans around the globe.
