The story
About this build.
A piece of rotary history
This is your chance to own a true icon of Japanese motoring history - a rare 1971 Mazda Capella RX-2. Finished in striking red and powered by a tough, fast 13B Bridgeport rotary, this Capella captures everything enthusiasts love about the golden era of Japanese performance. Lightweight, aggressive, and backed by the unmistakable sound of a screaming rotary, this is the kind of car that stops people in their tracks and sparks conversations wherever it goes.
With its adjustable-height suspension and Queensland mod plate, this Capella delivers the perfect blend of classic style, proven modifications, and drivable performance. Sitting low with an unmistakable stance, it commands attention whether it's cruising the streets, turning heads at car shows, or carving up your favourite roads.
Rare & unforgettable
As the years go by, these Mazdas continue to become harder to find and more desirable among collectors and enthusiasts alike. Their combination of rotary heritage, classic Japanese styling, and limited numbers has made them one of the most sought-after Mazdas ever built. This isn't just another classic car - it's a piece of rotary history. The 1971 Mazda Capella RX-2 doesn't just turn heads - it leaves a lasting impression.
