Mazda MX-5 20th Anniversary Limited Edition

This is the new Mazda MX-5 20th Anniversary Limited Edition, going on sale from 1st March 2010. It’s priced at only £16,850 for the 1.8 litre, in honour of the original car.

“The Anniversary model will appeal to customers in search of pure driving pleasure who are also keen to enjoy the whole sportscar ownership experience while celebrating the unique MX-5 heritage. Over a span of 20 years, Mazda has sold more than 850,000 MX-5 sportscars worldwide and our roadster has won more than 170 awards. Today, the Mazda MX-5 remains unrivalled as a rewarding, affordable sports car that can also be used for everyday motoring all year round, supported by Mazda’s legendary reliability and durability” said Mark Cameron, sales and marketing director for Mazda UK.

As additions over the standard car, there are superb looking 17inch alloy wheels with a unique silver finish, fog lights, chrome trim, body coloured roll bars, a strut brace and five other items that ensure the residual value and appeal of this unique sports car that has very wide appeal (from younger drivers to those who may be older but know the true value of a light car and a revvy engine!).

The Mazda MX-5 20th Anniversary model is powered by a 126ps, 1.8-litre petrol engine driving the rear wheels through a five-speed manual gearbox. Sportscar handling and legendary agility are complemented by a lively performance – 0-to-62mph in 9.9 seconds and a top speed of 121mph – and environmentally responsibility with modest CO2 emissions (167g/km) and a combined fuel economy of 40.4 mpg.
