Mazda MX5 aka Miata, the symbol of simple, affordable and fun roadsters, turns 20 this year and to celebrate this occasion, the company is making 2000 units of a special edition model called the 20th Anniversary specially for Europe. These cars come with a special edition scuff plate in stainless steel with the car’s serial number.

MX5 20th Anniv. which is based on the 1.8 liter soft top model, comes with a special exterior styling package with chrome grille, door handles and headlight fascia; along with silver-look fog lamp frames, specific 17-inch alloy wheels and 20th Anniversary logos. It can be had with three distinctive colors including True Red, Crystal White Pearl and Aurora Blue which is bespoke to this model.

Mazda has also tweaked the car with a new strut tower bar for sportier handling and therefore more driving fun.

Mazda MX5 20th Anniversary will premiere at 2010 Geneva Motor Show along with the new Mazda5.
