When Mazda ’s MX-5 was launched back in 1989 it would have set you back the princely sum of £14,250.
I remember the number well because I really wanted to buy one, but that year also involved a marriage and the expense of finger sandwiches, champagne and other expenses that ruled out buying a new sports car.
If an MX-5 cost £14,250 to buy 33 years ago, that equates to almost £38,000 today. But the cheapest version you can buy now is the 1.5 SEL at just £25,725, which is incredibly good value.
