The Mazda MX-5 Miata – an enthusiast’s perspective

Mazda unveiled their first Miata in 1989. Since then they've produced more than one million of these high-powered roadsters, one of the most popular sports cars ever built. Join President of the Trillium MX-5 Miata Club Gary Svoboda to learn about the development, history and evolution of four generations of MX-5 Miata.

This online talk will take place over Zoom and is part of the Canadian Automotive Museum's Third Thursday lecture series. These online talks are free and open to the public, but registration is required. The Canadian Automotive Museum is a registered Canadian charity and a suggested donation of $10 goes toward covering the cost of hosting these virtual events. Donors who make an annual contribution of over $25 will receive a charitable tax receipt.
