G'day Dan'l. Back in Australia, eh? Awesome collection of Mazda cars and parts. I remember much of the cars from when I was a boy. I remember the 1st and 2nd gen RX7. Although I've never owned or driven a Mazda of this generation, I've known people who have owned or driven some of them. I've seen only a couple of Mazda station wagons, here in the USA, was known as the Mazda Rotary. I've never seen a wagon version of the 323/GLC (Familia). :)

I think there are two main reasons. One, the weather is just too corrosive in Japan, and that's why there are very few actual wrecking yards.99.9% of old cars (10 - 15 years old) just get scrapped. Two, the general population just give a crap about older cars. They just scrap them and buy a new one. Funnily enough, people who do hang on to their older cars, can't get parts for them. Hmmm... I wonder why? You may not get the impression from watching my videos, but old-car culture is all but dead here in Japan.

As a 323 wagon owner from NZ. WHY does Japan not have 70s and 80s Mazda?? What's the reason there is no info on them??

@wasabicars

2 жыл бұрын

Hi. For some context, I've been living in Japan for 20 years, and going to car shows *very* regularly for the last 10. To answer your question, it's not just Mazdas. The Japanese want new cars in their driveways. Cars at about 10 - 15 years exported or crushed. They don't even bother stripping useful parts. Out with the old an in with the new. This has a knock-on effect for people wishing to hang on to their (still useful) cars in that it gets very difficult to source parts to keep their cars on the road. That's I guess the short answer.

That red coupe with the white hood (bonnet) at 7:45 looks like a Mitsubishi Starion. Am I mistaken?
