Estimated at £9,000 - £11,000
Lot details
Registration No: K419NVG
Chassis No: BG8Z-303340
Mot Expiry: June 2019
- RHD JDM rally homologation special, 1 of just 2,500 made
- 1830cc turbocharged engine producing c.235bhp
- BBS wheels, sunroof, air-conditioning
A major upgrade on the preceding GTX, the Familia GTR rally homologation model sported a front air dam, be-winged rear window, vented bonnet and wider wheels. Equipped with stiffer suspension, bigger brakes and strengthened five-stud wheel hubs, the high-performance Mazda also boasted a reworked 1.8 litre DOHC engine complete with stronger connecting rods / pistons, sodium filled valves, larger injectors, a baffled inlet manifold, front-mounted intercooler, and an IHI VJ-23 ball bearing water-cooled turbocharger. Removing a screw on the back of the instrument cluster, labelled 180kph, was a quick and easy way of disabling the factory speed limiter!
In road trim, this example is understood to have been first owned by the wife of Mazda Japan's then Managing Director. Powered by an 1830cc turbo-charged engine developing some 235bhp (according to the accompanying dyno sheet), it is fitted with BBS wheels and BCC adjustable coil overs. Further benefiting from a sunroof, air-conditioning and tinted rear side windows, it currently registers some 55,000 miles. Finished black with black leather/suede trim, this rare homologation special - 1 of just 2,500 made - is offered with a Swansea V5C, large file of invoices and other sundry paperwork including typed notes on running procedure and general upkeep.
