That group S prototype looks like a cross between a RS200 and a Delorean

The red one reminds me of a TVR Cerbera. Really sexy shape too

The Mk1 RX7 has recirculating ball steering, apparently making the steering as vague as quorn. But what a shape, lovely lines. The group S car is mental, that whole series really should have gone ahead heres my contribution, only the best car ever to set rubber on a race track. It was detuned by mazda to ensure that it would run for 24 hours, infact it would last 48hrs in the LM trim. When detuned the power would have been over 1000bhp and still completed the 24hr stint! J

The mk2 RX7 has an oldskool box-type steering system too and is much sharper apparently. The steering on my 929 koop is bloody shocking, I suspect its very similar to the RX7 mk1.

Chuffed to see that someone else knows about the Roadpacer, I've got a J-market brochure on it. Isn't the shell a Holden of some sort, their equivalent/version of our FE Victor?

Yeah, the shell is an HQ Holden Premier, a bit of a worry really they were heavy tanks at the best of times and well.. the wee rotor back in the 70's must have had a large fuel consumption issue trying to pull it around. It was a flop in Japan from what I understand, completely over-priced and underperforming.

Strange that they had this link with GM, when they were already starting to get tied up with Ford at this time.
There seems to be far too few old Mazdas left here in the UK, never ever saw many at JAE and very few on the roads. On the odd occasion I've found an interesting one (like an RX3 estate), I couldn't find anyone out there interested even in bits so they just disappeared.
Got pic's at home of a 616 (Capella?) saloon I saw in Ipswich some years back, very Peugeot 504-esque.

There was an article in C+SC about those roadpacers a couple of years ago, what a horrible but fascinating machine. The seat fabric is the best thing about them, it is a proper swirly council house curtain material pattern which is thoroughly hard work for normal human eyes. As for maz 616's, here's one for sale in france, looks a beaut too: cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4598349083&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1and heres a coupe one i spotted while working in Romania last year.
