Too much text and pictures for me to copy/paste. Enjoy the read and future articles. :)

I'm sure it'll still be not nostalgic enough, like the slam/ vintage thread all over again

Thanks for posting. I can reread the history of our little roadsters again and again. Great stuff!... and thank god it didn't start out as the FWD Capri.

The suspension points mirror the NA, as do the mechanical layout and ancillaries. The only major difference is that the MX-5’s trademark PPF (power plant frame) bracing the transmission to the differential as swapped sides due to the exhaust being moved to the other side.

Mentions the PPF has rotated 180 degrees. Fails to mention multilink rear suspension :|
