British Sports Cars, Japanese Smarts

[MRnewsBot]

25 years ago Mazda unveiled the MX-5 Miata and reinvented the roadster.

Originally influenced by British Sports Cars like the Lotus Elan and Triumph Spitfire, now it's making a new breed of British Sports cars possible.

Pretty cool! One of these days (hopefully a long long time from now) I will have a Lotus Elan and my Miata in the same garage! My uncle is restoring an Elan and he is leaving it to me in his will. He is currently in the process of getting a $10,000+ paint job/body restoration, so I'm kind of excited! :D :D :D

You don't have to wait, just get another Miata, and throw an Elan inspired body kit on it! You and your Uncle can have a great time driving both cars.
