Mazda to launch MX-5 CC at London show

19 April 2006
Mazda's folding metal-roofed MX-5 could look something like this Mazda is tipped to unveil a folding tin-top version of its brilliant new MX-5 at this summer's British Motor Show in London.

This computer-generated image gives an idea of what the car could look like, but you'll have to wait until July for official shots of the new Mazda.

There's no more official information on the secret Mazda just yet, but we'd expect it to go on sale later this year with a price tag of around £17,000 to £17,500 - about £1,500 to £2,000 more than the soft-top.

This summer's event should be the best British Motor Show in decades, because along with the Mazda it will feature world debuts of the next-generation Land Rover Freelander and Vauxhall Corsa.

Find out more on whatcar.com as the London show draws near - we'll have a full report from the London event and a video of the latest addition to the MX-5 family hot from the show floor. Don't miss it.

Held at the ExCel centre in Docklands from July 20-30, the British Motor Show will also have live rock concerts, stunt drivers and on- and off-road courses.
