Mazda released a special limited edition of MX5 called Miyako. The new model is specially designed to celebrate 20th Anniversary of the world's best-selling roadster.
Mazda MX5 Miyako will be put on sale from 1 July and available in two versions - the 1.8i Miyako soft-top priced at £18 385 and the more powerful 2.0i Miyako roadster coupe with the world's fastest folding powered roof (up or down in 12 seconds), priced at £20 885.
Inside, the new Miyako features black leather trim with a red underlay and stitching, special badging, floor mats and climate control air-conditioning.
The exterior includes front fog lamps, larger 17" alloy wheels, a front suspension strut brace and  metallic paint.
Mark Cameron, sales director, Mazda UK said: "The new Mazda MX-5 Miyako will have extra appeal to a broader range of customers, including those who recognise the uniquely pure driving pleasure this Mazda continues to deliver, and those who aspire to owning a special edition model,"
