Mazda 626

Definitely one of the most pleasing and unexpected finds this year, along with the R100 at the same garage.
Another shot of this FD RX7 that was in great shape, with the skin of a Japenese classic and the heart of an American (LS1).
At a completely separate location from the Mazdas in the next photo, although I suspect there is or was a connection in terms of ownership. Scott 'srblythe' has posted close-ups of these cars before, but I think the 626 4x4 is a new addition since I last looked.

This car was a couple of spots down from me in the paddock at Atlanta Motorsports Park. After talking to the owner, it had its rotary removed and replaced with a Chevy LS1 engine. Same good looking body, now with more power and reliability.

Much less common than the equivalent Toyota or Datsun.
This one's in regular use with just a few dents and dings. Sister vehicle of one Hugo caught. Previously featured in a truck picture.

Mazda Roadpacer AP (1975) at the Mazda Classic - Automobil Museum Frey in Augsburg, Germany.
The Roadpacer was Mazda's unique attempt to enter the Japanese market of luxury sedans, rivaling the Toyota Century or Nissan President. The car was not developed by Mazda but an Australian Holden Premier with a Mazda 13B Wankel engine: engineless Holdens were shipped to Japan, where they were fitted with engines and transmissions and recieved luxurious equipment. However, sales were slow and only around 800 units sold, few of which remain today.

Found this parked at a repair shop in the West Side section of Stamford, Connecticut today. It was raining out and I didn't want to get my DSLR wet so I took this with my waterproof point and shoot. I have never seen one of these before in my life.
Good to see this one amongst the big Japanese saloons/estates and sports cars. Had a chat with the owner, he owns one or two others.
Reminded me the A-reg 3-door I had for a month or two - a nice car and I wish I'd kept it for longer.
A very pleasing thing to see on a weekday evening. It's well over 20 years now since we had one, in our case the pre-ABS model.
Keven has a nice shot of it taken back in 2020 (see below).

A rather unexpected find. Out of MOT since January '26, but this has been regularly on the road for the duration of the computerised DVLA records, albeit covering only very low mileages.
al final de la carrera...... ganó!!!
pero lo que mas me gustó es que este animalito sonaba como un F1
simplemente maravilloso!!!!

I'm looking for some new cars to shoot with. If anyone's interested in doing a shoot, please just let me know. Looking for people within the Solihull/Birmingham area.
