Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel tell the story of the Mazda MX-5, the world's favourite two-seat roadster. They look at the model's inception in the 1980s, the cars that inspired it and the few that have tried to dethrone it over the years, and analyse the reasons for its success with more than 1.2 million having been built over 35 years.

They also explain in detail what an MX-5 is like to drive and how it has, or hasn't, changed over the decades.
