Any R100's out there?

[travellinbob]

Hi everyone, just me again, I was wondering if the R100 was ever sold in the UK and if so does anyone know of the wherabouts? Or for that matter and old skool rotor wagons.?
Cheers.

(old skool section alive and kickin..:)

I think we only got 1300's ... no R100's or 1100's IIRC ?

[travellinbob]

oh thats a pity. I guess that there must be some floating around europe as they got the 110s. but only a guess.

There were some R100's sold here,I know that Alan Bryer of h.g. Bryer and son's sold 3.
There must have a few more.
I once saw a 4 door Familia for sale here that was one owner from new,they were only ever sold in Japan!
I reckon there must be one or two around.
I know of one for sure over here but the guy won't sell it!I have tried!
Kind regards
Carl

ahhhhhhh you learn somthing new every day, were these cars official mazda imports or were they a trial run batch to see how they sold .... mazda seem to have done that quite often

[travellinbob]

Seriously, cheers mate. If the guy wont sell it will he show it, or at least chuck a photo of it up for us to ahve a peak at. Maybe, if we ask nice.:D

gord:D

[travellinbob]

hey flectron, homesick? me? how canyou tell:rollin
I came to be on mull (:D ) through work. I am a potter by trade and after learning my skill in Japan I thought I would come over here for 3 or 4 months before trekking over to the USA. 3 and a half years later, one half of a pottery and goergeous chick later and here I am still:rolleyes:
Never been to bute but thought that if i got a weber for my moggy then I would use it as an excuse to go up to the isle of lewis for a bit as there is a good vw workshop up there that can modify it for me for a blow through application.Any excuse for a holiday.:)

[flectron]

damn right!:)

hey, i've never been to mull so maybe i could use that road rally as an excuse for a hol...
which month is it run in mate? we should get a crew together and have a mad mull weekend.
