1974 Mazda RX3 GT Savanna:

This car was built in the ‘Yanky’ style in the 1980s – a large fender/spoiler style popular in Japan at that time. It’s basically a standard RX3 with bolt on ‘race-looking’ parts. Aside from a mildly-modified engine and some decent brake pads it’s essentially the same as it was in Japan in the 1980s. It was imported into New Zealand by Warwick Mortimer then sold to Justin Hicks. It is now owned by Andy Duffin.
