Heres a classic I had back in 1985 to run a sandwich buisiness I was running then.According to the web site"How many left" There are only 3 1982 versions left and this was a 1977 so that must make it rarer than ????Well lets put it this way.....Any of you AMERICANS got one?....No Thought not.. .The bonnet-up shot is rather unfair as this was probably the most reliable car I have ever owned..It was bought of the top of a stack in Evans Scrap yard in Cheetham Hill Manchester for spares for a green one I was doing up but I was so pleased with this when it started up and ran and the radio came on just like "CHRISTINE" I had to keep it...

Strange really, putting the words Classic and Mazda together has never really worked, but hey! we have found someone who has proven it can work, nice one Ian and a little more compact than "Christine"... :lol:

I've owned a lot of classics...Classic in my world means you cant get a model of one and theres hardly any about......Where are all the Viva HB+HCs, Montegos,Renault 18s,80s Bluebirds,Mazda 323s,Corrina 2s [not Es] and MK2 transit shed style mini buses ?........
