Nostalgia to the Future
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Three weeks ago I purchased a new Miata, after being away from sports cars for 25 years. (TR3+BMW 2000ti) Oh how I wish I had gotten back into it sooner. It has been so much fun. I purchased the book last week, finished it and loved it. The book told the story of the early British influence, Triumphs, Healeys, etc, on the design, development and marketing of the Miata, brought it thru 1999. The struggles, hopes, fears of the individuals in the company, and the process of internal competition to ferret out the best car with a very high emphasis on handling and suspension. Wow, and the discussion about lack of Miata restoration projects, why, because the oldest ones don't need to be restored, they are still in great condition. And to think, I almost purchased an MR2, now, Maita's forever. The book gave me great background and justification for my exuberance.
Sold on the Miata

I read this book when considering the purchase of a sports car, and it sold me on the Miata. I bought the car a week later. Very positive perspective and professional tone kept me riveted. Even though I normally don't enjoy detailed automotive description, Taylor's fine writing covered the ground in an easy and fluid way. His interweaving of the history of the Miata throughout the last decade was superb. Nine chapters include fabulous color photographs depicting international and local production, modifications and how to purchase and own. This book is highly recommended for those who own Miatas and those who desire them. I am happy to report that I am now in the ownership category, and incidentally, my new Miata is twilight blue.
