Grey was the colour of the suits, the phones, the buildings and apparently the photography studios in 1989. From September of that year, this is the earliest press shot of the MX-5 we could find; in case you hadn't noticed, there's a bit of
MX-5 adulation
going on throughout PH for the foreseeable.
This photo says a lot about where press info has come since the late 80s too. There's no elaborate Photoshoppery here or fantastically exotic location, just a basic and simple car in a basic and simple setting. Roof down on its original (silver) daisy wheels, the MX-5 looks impossibly dainty and almost quite cute. Funnily enough, having been created to evoke the spirit of classic European roadsters, the MX-5 is now old enough to offer a vaguely historic experience itself.
Anyway, choose the appropriate format and let your PC or phone enjoy the MX-5 for a few days. We'll be back to something fast and sideways and spitting flames next Friday.
