I also have a 1974 Mazda RX4 which is as close to a GT that a Japanese car maker could have gotten at that time. It too has 34K original miles and paint too, still shines like new inside and out. You can see it at Cardomain as well. I like old odd cars.

Hi Max

I drove an auto, white just like yours, except it had standard alloys. I have never seen one with wires, in fact they are too new to have come from the factory with wires [too much tuning to do ], so I suspect yours are a later addition by an owner.

It is a really nice car to drive, my comments about the chassis need to be measured against the ability of other cars that age. I love them. There is a Triumph club here in Ireland, always a few Stags knocking about.

Did you know that our Network Presidente, Randy aka Aredubjay, is an ex-Triumph man? He had a Spitfire in the past, another pretty Michelotti design.

I've looked at your RX4 as well. You are one lucky bugger! That is a fantastic car! I expect you will give it the care it deserves.

Joe
