It's the best-selling two-seat sports car of all time, so it's no wonder the Mazda MX-5 has found loyal fan bases in countries across the world. Obviously the UK is one of them. After all, this is the land where little roadsters were born. The MX-5's heritage comes straight from old Triumphs and MGs. Obviously the Japanese-built MX-5 doesn't have the faulty electronics and oil leak issues of its forefathers. Auto Express recently attended a very special event in honor of both the car and the fan club itself: the Mazda MX-5 Owners Club 20th Anniversary Rally.

With 1,700 MX-5s in attendance, it was really quite an event. Everything from customized to stock MX-5s were present. And pretty soon the all-new fourth generation model will arrive in showrooms. Check out the video ahead to see the celebrations.
