In Brief- Ford Australia started manufacturing them in 1988 and ceased in 1994... The body was designed by ghia... It was called the barchetta (apparently means little boat in italian) was mounted on a mazda 323 floor pan... As for the back seat... Market research showed the American consumer insisted the car have a back seat for the kids... The main objective was the American market... And they did out sell the miata/ mx5 for some time there.
Anything else just ask?
