Rarely seen Mazda models - the little two-stroke-engined 1972 Chantez a 1975 Mazda Roadpacer AP - a luxury sedan of which only 800 models were ever built a cabriolet version of a 1987 323 Familia a 1993 626 with four-wheel-steering a tow-truck version of the 1974 REPU pickup - flank the marque’s more familiar legends, such as the pioneering 1968 Cosmo Sport. There are rugged utility vehicles, path-breaking sports cars, a rotary-engined 26-seater bus, the Parkway, even the 1984 Mazda RX-7 GSL-SE, which Mazda gave to Felix Wankel as a gift. You can chart the evolution of three-wheeled workhorses and minicars from the 1950s and 1960s marvel at the blossoming of the Mazda rotary engine and the various models that made it so successful in the 1960s and 1970s, and trace the numerous technical innovations of the 1980s and 1990s. With immaculate examples from every era of post-war Mazdas, this priceless gathering of vehicles distils the history of the marque into one handy 500-square-metre area. ![]()
