Description

Decided to let go of my 1973 Mazda RX2 Sedan. This classic Japanese car is powered by a 12a rotary engine, through a JATCO 3 speed automatic transmission.

I have owned this car for 29 years. The car is in immaculate original condition, which is impressive for a vehicle of this age. The original 12a qrotary engine runs well, paired with an auto that makes it easier to drive than many other classics. The engine was re-built in 2024 just under 2000kms ago.

These RX2s are becoming harder to find, especially in this condition . Features:

Original 1146cc twin dizzy rotary engine
Automatic transmission
just 85082 kms
Engine re-build 2024 ( at 83103 kms )
rebuilt Carburetor, starter motor, alternator.
new radiator core, oil cooler flushed.
NZ new with just two owners
Well-preserved condition
Classic 70s styling
all interior and exterior in original condition.
crack free dash
odd dent, scratch, and paint chip from over 50 years use, and paint all original ( but was clear coated back in the early 90’s)
underbody sealed from new.
good clean original rust free example
Garaged its whole life
Never driven in the rain ??
some spares available ( windscreen, new front bumper, chrome trim, pedal box for manual conversion if needed )

If you're looking for a unique classic car that stands out from the crowd, this RX2 could be just what you're after. Happy to answer any questions you might have. Genuine enquires only please.
