This Mazda Luce GSII is a rare and significantly upgraded classic Japanese luxury coupe, presented in a distinctive colour scheme. It is powered by a ‘12A’ 1.2-litre turbocharged rotary engine with a retrofitted intercooler and electronic fuel injection, driving the rear wheels via a retrofitted five-speed manual transmission. First registered in 1973, this example was previously registered in Japan and is now registered in Australia. The odometer indicates 64,213 km, though this is not warranted and the seller states the true mileage is believed to be 164,213 km. This is a JDM import upmarket model, offering a higher specification compared to the Australian-spec RX4. Build year: 1972 This Luce GSII is finished in a striking shade of green over a brown vinyl and cloth-trimmed interior, now featuring black cloth-trimmed RX8 front seats and a period-correct wood-rimmed Mazda steering wheel. It rides on a set of aftermarket 15-inch Performance five-spoke alloy wheels finished in silver with polished lips, fitted with Falken Ziex tyres. Equipment includes electric windows, an analogue clock, air conditioning (not working but complete), and an electric boot release, as well as split rear tail lights and chrome embellishments around the front air dam openings. This Luce GSII has been significantly modified, now featuring a 1.2-litre turbo engine (originally a ‘12A’ twin dizzy), a Haltech engine management system, an electronic distributor, an intercooler (‘13B’ mounted in front of a modified radiator), a five-speed manual transmission (originally automatic), a heavy-duty clutch, a front ventilated brake upgrade, Bilstein shocks, an Alpine DAB Bluetooth stereo, a Uniden HF/UHF CB radio, a rear window louvre, a towbar, halogen headlights, and a QuikTrak alarm with remote monitoring, fob car unlocking, and opening bootlid.

The seller states that it was most recently serviced in September 2024 at an indicated 64,017 km.
