Have you contact the AUTHOR (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Charles01) of the photo?
Maybe it was in UK just for a meeting.

It certainly seems to be a UK showground.
looks like a Cosmo alongside.
Then there\'s the back of a Triumph Stag (Yellow), another Triumph (?) beyond that, also a Hillman Imp in the background.

I now believe these two Mazda\'s are owned by Kalciev in Sydney Australia. Does anybody here know?

According to Sancho Kalcev (Sydney Cosmo110/LuceR130 owner) these two cars are indeed in the UK! Does anybody here know who they belong to?

I\'ve no idea who owns this, but looking at the image close up it looks like a UK tax disc and registration number, image isn\'t clear but it looks to be on a G, which would be correct for 1969.  I\'ll try and contact the author.
Very interesting :)

I\'ve contacted the guy who took the photo, he never spoke to the owners, but he believed that the R130 and Cosmo arrived at the show together, but they didn\'t stay long.

The photo was taken at the end of August 2009 at the Classic Car Show at Knebworth in Hertfordshire.

Cheers Ray, nice to know an R130 exists in the UK. I know a cosmo owner in the UK I\'ll ask him if he knows anything about these cars......

Found out a little more and as Ray says, both of these cars are off our Radar completly,

Hopefully these cars will surface and become involved with Mazdarotaryclub to share their cars with people all around the world plus at least come along to the Spring Rotorshow at Brooklands next year :burnout

Cheers Clive, I belong to a small group of R130 owners and would like to extend an invitation to the mystery UK owner to register. R130 owners who speak english are in short supply. :-)
Thanks in advance to anybody here who can help us.
