Mazda’s MX-5 – the car that changed the roadster market and influenced attitudes towards open-top motoring, began life in 1989 and, since then, over one million cars have been sold to adoring drivers from Japan to Jakarta, and just about everywhere else between!
Billed as a driver’s car, with “oneness of man and machine” in mind, the MX-5, or Miata, as it is also known, has deservedly gained a place high in the hearts of owners and admirers; more to do with its personality and impeccable road manners than out-and-out performance. Nevertheless, the MX-5 remains the car of choice for the world’s biggest race series, too, so its front-engined, rear-wheel drive layout lends itself well to being a great (and fun!) competition car.
The world’s biggest selling and most popular open-top, two-seater has a huge following of enthusiasts, so it should come as no surprise that we cover every aspect of the mighty little Japanese sportscar with expertly written and comprehensive subject matter, spanning the lfe of the MX-5, now in it’s fourth incarnation.

HARD You could do a lot worse thanSL to check out Brian Long’s extensively – even exhaustively – researched Mercedes-Benz series.
Reportedly reliable and well constructed, there’s plenty of Mercedes’ range of cars on the road these days; almost to the point of allowing most of them to simply pass us by, occasionally though, a shiny, beautifully-proportioned convertible might sail past and you may find yourself struggling to keep your eyes on the road instead of on the stunning motor you undoubtedly just fell in love with. Chances are, you just spotted a Mercedes SL. The SL began its life in 1954, under the Daimler-Benz moniker. Since then, and through each decade and every variant, the car’s popularity has barely waned, and it remains in production; albeit in a more modern style that has lost features such as the now iconic gull-wing doors (they now exclusively appear on the arguably similar-looking Mclaren SLR, if you have a spare £5-600,000) in favour of a plethora of luxury gadgets – so many that even James Bond’s Q- branch would have trouble keeping up. The SL is not a simple car; from its masterfully engineered, powered folding metal roof, to heated (and cooled) seats, tyre pressure sensors, ‘ABC’ hydraulic suspension, keyless entry, self-braking proximity technology and safety features such as a quick-deploy rollover hoop should the car ever dare turn oily side up. Over the decades, the SL has been Mercedes- Benz’ showcase for its latest technological advancements, rolled out piecemeal through the rest of its range of road cars. Brian Long, automotive author, has applied similar principles to his detailed series of Mercedes titles, dealing with this important history as well as many other titles (his work appears throughout this catalogue) concentrating on the SL, SLK and W123 – he has also researched and written about the stalwart G-Wagen, too. Is there no end to this chap’s talent and knowledge? Let’s hope not, as they are all great titles, and we’re happy to share in the seemingly endless torrent. So, enjoy the read – and next time an SL sails past, remember to keep your eyes on the road.
