Mazda's foray into rotary engines all started in 1960 with their President Matsuda visiting the German NSU works at Neckarsulm to see the rotary engine Dr Felix Wankel was developing with NSU and subsequently signing an agreement to make Wankel engines under licence in 1961. Mazda went on to introduce their RX7 with twin-rotor Wankel engine in 1978 and the five-speed, rear-wheel drive configuration made it a popular choice. Lightweight (weighing under 1000kg), with its distinctive wraparound all-glass tailgate, four-link rear suspension, simple carburated rotary power and famed 50:50 weight distribution it was lauded by Car & Driver magazine, making it onto their 'Ten Best' list in 1983.

Understood to have been in storage since 1992 (as evidenced by the tax disc on the windscreen) and displaying c.24,600 miles, this desirable SA example is fitted with an SA12 carburettor, sunroof, Wankel engine and five-speed gearbox. Originally finished in 'Mach Green' which can be seen through the current dark blue paintwork, the car was recently uncovered and now moves under it's own power. Offered for restoration, DOJ 712V is accompanied by assorted spare parts and current V5C logbook.
