Mazda MX-5 20th Anniversary Special Edition

Mazda will produce a limited edition version of the MX-5. The limited edition Mazda MX5 is due to hit showrooms in March to celebrate the roadster's 20th anniversary. For us UK customer the OTR price will be £16, 850.

The special anniversary model is based on the 1.8-litre SE trim level.  Even though the special edition model will have 10 pieces of optional equipment, it will only cost £55 more than the SE would normally cost.

Extra equipment on the special model includes body-colour roll bars, and 17-inch 10-spoke alloy wheels painted in silver.  Along with chrome exterior trim, and fog lights, the car comes with a strut brace, body-coloured dashboard, aluminium pedals, and air conditioning.  Special "20th Anniversary" badges can be found on the scuff plates and floor mats.

Mazda plans to produce 1875 units for Europe of the Mazda MX-5 20th Anniversary edition, with 600 headed to UK.  Think I might pop into an Essex Mazda dealer to check one out!
