12A Rotary Powered, Mazda 323 (Familia/GLC) In Brisbane, Australia

May 30, 2020

In August of 2018 I was in Brisbane Australia on a sunny Sunday with nothing to do so went to the Real Steal and Chrome car show at Yatala Drive In. Lots of old-school US and Australian cars, as well as a few old rotary-powered Mazdas.

This 323 hatchback was built in 1977. It has a 1,146cc rotary engine.
