Mazda is perhaps the only mass market auto manufacturer that has dabbled with the rotary engine for a few decades, and sold significant numbers of rotary-engined cars. Their legendary RX-7 is firmly cemented in enthusiast and tuner history as one of the greats. The RX-8 that followed was a bit more mellow, but added some family friendliness to the package while retaining that smooth, high-revving rotary motor. Apart from these models, there were a few others in history. One of these was the RX-3, which was offered between 1971 and 1978. This was the rotary-engined variant of the Mazda Grand Familia compact car, Mazda’s answer to Toyota’s fearsome Corolla and the Sunny from Nissan. Today, finding a Grand Familia is hard to say the least, much less its rarer rotary-engined variant, but we’ve got one right here. If you want a Japanese curio to grace your garage, this 1975 Mazda RX-3 awaits in Zephyrhills, Florida. It’s got an original 36,000 miles too.
Popularly called the hairy-chested Healey, the Austin-Healey 3000 was, as the name suggests, a large-engined British sports car, typically in roadster form. Unlike typical British roadsters of the time, the Austin-Healey 3000 came with an uncharacteristically large six-cylinder powerplant and was, overall, a larger car, albeit by not much. Produced between 1959 and 1967, it makes for an excellent classic car to own and cherish. Interestingly, in the Austin-Healey 3000’s later years, the majority of production found its way to North America. Today, we’ve got one of those cars, a 1961 Austin-Healey 3000 BN7 Roadster from Gastonia, North Carolina. Why not pick it up and make it your weekend cruiser?
