In an interview, the sales director of Mazda UK, Mark Cameron states with pride that “The legendary Mazda MX-5 is the car most people associate with Mazda”. Mark concluded the interview and said “To hit 100,000 sales in the UK is a significant milestone for Mazda. We are the biggest market for this car due to our love of open-top two seat sports cars. The Mazda MX-5 finds its roots in the British heritage of soft top sports cars and has been loved by British motorists since the day it arrived on these shores”.
