Nobody built sports cars like British manufacturers in the 1950s and 1960s. There was something very special about the combination of lowslung open twoseater bodywork with a spartan interior, a slick sporting gearchange and a rorty exhaust note. This was windinthehair motoring, and it was affordable by the average young man at least, until he got married and had a family. The names of MG and Triumph stood proudly out from the rest, but there were many others as well. AustinHealeys and Jaguars were grander and faster, but they still embodied that almost indefinable fun factor. Then there were the bitpart players, who did their best to secure a place in the affections of the sports car buying public.British sports cars were hugely popular overseas, especially in the USA. And tellingly, when Japanese manufacturer Mazda wanted to make a sports car in 1989, it sought inspiration from these very classics of the 1950s and 1960s. Today, the Mazda MX5 is the world's bestselling sports car.
