Threeonthetree Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 I didn't even know that such a car existed! That looks spectacular and it's in such great condition too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Threeonthetree Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 Just out of curiosity, was the car styled in-house by Mazda (like the Cosmo) or was it commissioned to a third party? Reason being, it reminds me of some of Bertone's work during that era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insani-T Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Pretty sure I have seen this car in the steel (was on someones front yard) and from the drive-by rubber necking that I did, it looked very nice for a Mazda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHGWAG Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 What's stopping the Wof / Reg? Can imagine trying to get parts for this would be near on impossible. Glad to see it's original and un-molested This thing will be worth a mint in years to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madaz Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
