Ahh yes... there was one of these featured on the Autospeed.com newsletter recently.. I managed to save all of the pics from the article even though I don't actually pay for them.. :wink:

Rod.. if you'd like some of them I can send them over in a ZIP file..

Acutally, this topic sparked an interest for me.. I went searching on the net after reading this initially and found this comprehensive page.. Could be worth a bit of a look.. 1990 Mazda Cosmo (http://me.a-spec.ca:6001/Past/Rotary/90Cosmo.html)

ENJOY :D Some nice pics and good information..

Oh for a JC,
This is what I have to be content with (http://me.a-spec.ca:6001/Past/Rotary/81Luce.html)
Their is too much electronic chicanery to convert a JC to a five cog with no speed limiters.

Pac Performance had plans to do a drive-in drive-out conversion for them, but i dont know if anything came of it...

Oh.. I just found a little article that featured the concept "Cosmo Sport" that is modelled on the original Cosmo 110s.. very nice machine. I would like one of these for an "old-skool" cool feel.. BTW.. i know that it has MX5 floorplan and underpinnings.. similar panels too [see doors]

Mazda did build a very small number of 20B manual 929 sedans - I expect they were built by the Skunk works mob for a bit of fun to challenge M5 BMWs etc.

An Aussie journalist of there in the early 90's drive one... Apparently breaking traction in 3rd wasn't a problem ;)

Only two of the 20B 929s were ever registered in Australia, a friend of mine once worked for Mazda in Sydney and got to drive one for an evening :mrgreen:

Gotta luv those thruster tail lights, personaly I'd go with rims with less bling
