The story
About this build.
This is your chance to own a true icon of Japanese motoring history – a rare 1975 Mazda 808, reborn as an RX-3. Finished in Phoenix blue and powered by a 13b turbo rotary, this 808/RX-3 conversion captures everything enthusiasts love about the golden era of Japanese performance. Lightweight, aggressive, and backed by the unmistakable sound of a screaming rotary, this is the kind of car that stops people in their tracks and sparks conversations wherever it goes. With its tasteful modifications this 808/RX-3 delivers the perfect blend of classic style, proven modifications, and drivable performance. Sitting low with an unmistakable stance, it commands attention whether it's cruising the streets, turning heads at car shows, or carving up your favourite roads. As the years go by, genuine 808-to-RX-3's built to this high standard continue to become harder to find and more desirable among collectors and enthusiasts alike. Their combination of rotary heritage, classic Japanese styling, and true rarity has made them one of the most sought-after builds in the Mazda world. This isn't just another classic car – it's a piece of rotary history.
