Febuary 2010 RHD Rotary Of The Month Winner

[ZGN]

Congratulations to our winner Madaz.
Special thanks to all who participated in the February Rotary RHD of the month.

Location: New Zealand
969 Bertone Mazda Luce RX87. Its in original unrestored condition apart from a partial repaint in the early 80's. It has a 13A engine with 87000 kms on the clock. These were Mazda's flagship in Japan back in 1969. I dont plan to modify it but one day when I have enough coin I would like to give it a full restoration.

It was lowered as you can see in the pics but its now back to its original height.

Hi guys, Sorry I resurrected this old thread because I'm not sure where to post these pics.
Anyway I imported my Luce to Australia late last year and I thought I would share a couple recent pics.
