A huge :welcome: to you great to see a wagon being rescued (we call them Estates over here)
Always loved these, right from the days when I worked at a Mazda dealership doing pre-delivery inspections on these and other new Rotary’s.
Last time I saw one of these was at Sevenstock some eleven years ago, as far as I know we have none left over here.
Keep us posted

Quote from: clive on March 06, 2020, 08:28:28 PMYea they are a rare find anymore . I left my original bike build site pretty much . just couldnt take the money boys bugging all the time about selling it . I want to get the little car done then use it and a small light trailer to pull the bike with , just want to attend some of the more local country car shows . Aussie and kiwi land have some . those boys can make a rotary run with a piece of leather and a stick. thanks for the input.
