Sometimes I do these things ambiguously (self serving and for the bigger picture/greater good). October 2016 was the first time I went to Japan with the sole purpose of meeting the Leopard community. Before Facebook, many of us on F31club w...

This was the sibling car to the Mazda HB Cosmo. This car exported as a 929 and offered only in piston motor (compared to the Japanese Luce with rotary turbo option). The Luce was also never offered in coupe.
