Thanks for posting - Some interesting cars!

Not sure about their analysis of the undoubtedly popular MX5 though.
"Twenty-five years after its debut, the Mazda MX-5 Miata is regarded as the best British roadster money can buy."

I did not realise the Mazda was British !!!!!

Mazda is part owned by Ford, so that almost makes it British, unless Ford is American?

It's more likely that Ford is Japanese !!!

Alan, there is no relationship between Ford & Mazda anymore. Ford owned 1/3 in the 80s & maybe more later, but had to sell everything with their near bankruptcy experience in 2009/2010.

Is it just me, or is there more fun in the forums recently?

Front ride height looks wrong, or is it to do with Federal spec?

Didn't we have one that lasted for two days in the mid seventies?
