Auto ID #168 Finished

[otherunicorn]

As someone spoiled the last round before Monday was even over, here, have another. No, it's front wheels are not stock.

Remember, don't post any hints or answers here. PM me (NOT Harry!!) with year, make, and model.

 

1969 Mazda R100

Australian export version. The 1968 and early 1969 version had different side indicators and a longer rear parcel shelf.

For the later 1969-70 model, to make more passenger room, they shortened the rear parcel shelf so they could lean the seats back. Of course, tall people would now hit their heads on the window frame!.

1971 saw the R100 updated to Series 2, with modified front suspension, different door handles, different trim, and an even shorter parcel shelf. The model was discontinued in 1973, although in Australia, the 1971 was the last model to be imported.

Late in the piece, there was a wide bodied variant.
 

The car shown above was my third R100.
