5.0 out of 5 stars
A wonderful keepsake on the history of the Miata.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mazda Miata/Mx5 (Paperback)
Brian Long has in essence, fully researched the history of the Miata Roadster. This is a timeless keepsake which traces the origins of the Mazda corporation and the step by step development of an incredible automobile. I applaud his attention to the chronology and details of the car's history. From the initial design team sketches to the clay models to the smallest details which came together to capture the spirit of the old British roadsters. It's a great source of information and details which most enthusiasts aren't aware of. If you're a fan of the Miata, or of the simplicity of the British roadsters then this one's a winner!

Book Review,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mazda Miata/Mx5 (Paperback)
This book seems to be a prelude to "Mazda MX-5 Miata: The Book of the World's Favourite Sportscar" both by the same author. I'd suggest the "....World's Favourite Sportscar" as a more complete history since it covers the 3rd generation.
