1967 Toyota GT2000 

I see that thing alot(i live in ruakaka) truck hit the front guard

looks like it hit both front guards

I spotted this beast a couple of weeks ago near Marsden point.

Spotted this Toyota Century yesterday

so weird that it's FWD though!

It is?

Agreed though, such a mint car, tried to find some more history on them, seems they were a prototype? did they retail?

Fwd?

yes, the only FWD rotary by Mazda.

Prototype?

no, however Mazda's only production rotary to wear the prototype designation badges.

Retail?

yes, only 976 of them, Mazda Japan's Bertone designed Flagship.

Priced at 1.74 million yen back in 1969 it was aprox 5 years average income.

Thanks for all the good feedback

here is some more pics

My brother owns an HQ prem and he cringes everytime i remind him of its non piston model

luckily for your brother mazda didn't rotary any HQ's

I have seen one of these in NZ too. Some idiot told me he knew where this R100 was. After a 4 hour drive to the location it ended up being one of these Mazda 1000 coupe.

woah never seen a pic of a roadpacer... not that it looks any different from an HZ, anyone got a photo of a roadpacers engine bay? must be hilarious

Yea here is a Roadpacer Engine bay

definatly some not mazda's in there

at least one hq holden......didnt they fit a rotang to one of them in auz....and it flopped big time ?

Every one of them was a Mazda!

Mazda made 800 rotary powered HZ Premier Holdens for Japan only and badged them as Mazda Roadpacers. That pic was one of them.

May They Rest In Peace!

NO, Mazda did not produce an R100 ute, not even a prototype! The only rotary powered ute mazda produced was the REPU. (Rotary engine pick up) for the US market 74-77. And there is definately 1, possibly even 2 in New Zealand.

Hi everyone, I'm tidying up an old car and want to know whats the easiest way of making very old hose clips like new again. I dont want to replace them with modern stainless steel hose clips and I dont want to have to scrub them either.

Is there a "magic liquid" I can soak them in?

any help would be appreciated
