The Miata Ancestors Thread

[Roadster]

Thought it might be cool to come up with a collection of the great pre-Miata roadsters of the world. The Lotus Elan has been the muse for my car so far, as has Chapman mentality. Let's see em. Favorites from Japan, Britain, Italy, Germany, and so on...

S600...another very cool little ride....except for the chain drive. ;)
A really sharp one made an appearance at the Mitty a year or two ago.
