Rotary Mazda and owner wanted for magazine feature

EdLuke · 07-13-2016, 10:15 AM

Hello,

I work for Mazda's Zoom-Zoom magazine, which goes out to 1.5 million owners worldwide.

For the next issue of the magazine I'm looking for someone who owns an early 70s rotary-engined Mazda (especially an RX-2, RX-3, RX-4 or RX-5) to appear in our regular 'My Mazda' feature. Ideally you'd be based on either the east or west coast of the US.

The process usually comprises of a half hour chat on the phone with me about you and your car, followed by an hour or so with a photographer who'll come to you to take some lovely portraits of you with your pride and joy.

If you happen to own such a car and would like to appear in the magazine, please contact me at…

luke.ponsford@redwoodlondon.com

Many thanks and I'll look forward to hearing from you.

Luke

Someone should do this. I had a fantastic experience last year and some great times once the magazine came out.

That's what I figured, so I sent him an email yesterday. Who knows, maybe they'll pick an FC this time

I hate to be the one to break this to you Pete, but FCs aren't early 70's.

No shit, but the gamble paid off - they are working the process to set up a local photo shoot of my FC & phone interview as we speak

Nice reasonably unmolested FCs are getting a lot harder to find nowadays. Their readers should definitely be interested.

Same for me, I posted a pick of my 80 SA and he picked it last year.

Would this low mileage FC Turbo II work?

When the time comes how about a low mileage FD?

WTF? Where in CT are you and why haven't we met yet? Looks like litchfield county...

Pietro931 · 07-25-2016, 08:32 AM

I'm in Farmington, central CT. You?

Follow Rt 9 south to the coast and take a right. Westbrook.

Hmmmmmm.... did you used to autocross the FD with CART or FCSCC? YEARS ago... long time ago... I think we may have met before.

Pietro931 · 07-25-2016, 09:05 AM

Nope never autocrossed the car. The FD has 29k miles on it. The FC that I just got has 59k miles.

How the hell do you find these unicorns?

What's your secret?

Pietro931 · 07-25-2016, 09:15 AM

Just look around on different sites and when I see a good one I don't hesitate in getting it. These are going up in value, especially the turbo s5s.
