Lead 1973 Mazda RE Capella RX-2 Manual
Description
Location: Melbourne Year: 1973 Make: Mazda Model: RE Capella RX-2 Engine Type: 12A Rotary 2 Cylinder Transmission: Manual Odometer Reading: 05327 Kms Showing Body Type: Sedan VIN / Chassis: S122A-201685 Engine Number: RMR120410 Exterior Colour: Orange Interior Colour: Black Being offered UNRESERVED. Very original and in excellent condition for age. Desirable manual transmission. Rotary engine with twin headlights. Some history (vendor notes): I purchased the vehicle in May 1997 from the original owner's granddaughter, with 70,234 miles on the odometer. The car was registered in the granddaughter's name, who was given the vehicle to travel to university. The original owner purchased it in his retirement in November 1973 from Max Kirwin Mazda and gave it up to his granddaughter's elder years. Unfortunately, the family did not retain the original records of when the car was purchased in 1973. The car was running the original motor reconditioned by Mazda under warranty at some time in the 70s'. The car was my daily driver till 2002 and during this time the only maintenance was the Twin distributor 12A engine refreshed by Larry Kogge because it was smokey. I stopped using it as a daily driver in 2002 and put it into storage and it was put back on the road in 2017 with club registration. In 2017/18 the car has some preventative maintenance done on the suspension, steering gearbox, and differential. In September 2020 I had the Twin distributor 12A engine completely rebuilt. As part of the rebuild the engine I swapped the factory 4BBL with a 48IDA Weber and factory Mazda cast iron exhaust header. Issy Sveticic of Selectmaz undertook all of this work. This car is a genuine surviving example of this model. It has never been involved in an accident and to this day, has 100% original factory paint, interior trim, carpet, boot mat exhaust pipe, plastic on most of the door trims and the sun visors. There is a small 5mm rust bubble on the rear left-hand dog leg when I purchased it which has not changed. Mazda’s mid-sized model, known as the Capella in conventional piston-engined form and the RX2 when fitted with the Mazda Wankel rotary engine, was introduced in May 1970 and in first-generation form, was produced until 1978. Available in four-door and two-door coupe bodies, the first models all had rectangular headlights, while the rotary-engined models received round twin headlamps beginning in October 1971. From 1972 all models received the double headlamps. The taillight design was changed repeatedly over the production run. In Japan, the installation of a rotary engine gave buyers a financial advantage when it came time to pay the annual road tax in that they bought a car that was more powerful than a traditional inline engine, but without having the penalty for having an engine in the higher 1.5-liter tax bracket. This first-generation Capella/RX2 was the only generation that had the rotary engine offered. This vehicle is located in our facility in Melbourne, for further information please contact Dave Hosking 0474 182 002 or Mason Hibbert 0455 191 035. To protect your investment vehicle bidders should consider at a minimum replacement of fuel, oil, fluids, filters and thorough brake inspection as vehicles may have been stationary for some time. Vehicles are sold as is off the floor – unregistered. No warranty expressed or implied, sold with all or any faults, and where applicable sold with Australian Government Import Approval. MJCL21
