A very good example of the rare Japanese-market touring coupe, offered with a raft of sensible modifications and benefitting from a previous respray and interior retrim. Under the bonnet is the characterful twin-turbocharged 2.0-litre 20B-REW triple-rotary engine, producing around 300hp, coupled to a four-speed automatic transmission. The car was last serviced in December 2021, and has been routinely service throughout its life. The JC-series Eunos Cosmo has the distinction of being the first production car to have a built-in GPS navigation system, the first in Japan to use the "Palmnet" serial data communication system, the first and only car to be fitted with a triple rotor engine, and the first Japanese rotaryengine car to use a sequential twin-turbocharger setup. This example left the factory with Blue Mica paintwork over a tan leather-trimmed interior, punctuated by handsome wood trim panels. It comes equipped with the Car Control system, a CRT colour touch-screen, climate control, an in-car telephone, a television, a stereo and a CD player. Riding on an aftermarket set of 18-inch Yokohama Advan Kreuzer Series V alloy wheels, the car has been enhanced by a range of subtle upgrades, including a non-standard exhaust, lowered suspension springs, Nissan four-pot brake callipers, a Blitz SBC boost controller, SARD boost and temperature gauges, and a Greddy/Trust intercooler, intake pipes and radiator. Its original owner’s manuals will be included, along with evidence of a partial service history, a selection of tools and a Japanese JEVIC mileage verification certificate. There has been no known bodywork damage. The Blue Mica paintwork has recently been resprayed to rectify some UV-related fading, and there are now just a few very minor scuffs on the underside of the front bumper. Inside, both front seats have been reupholstered, and the tan leather upholstery now has just a few small age-related cracks. The trim on the driver’s A-pillar is slightly loose, due to the installation of the boost and temperature gauges. The trim underneath the handbrake lever is cracked. There are no known electrical or mechanical faults. This Cosmo’s most recent service was carried out in December 2021, when technicians at ABC Tyrepower and Mechanical replaced the engine oil and battery before re-balancing and aligning the wheels and performing a roadworthiness inspection. Previous services were carried out in Japan. This Mazda Eunos Cosmo 20B is a wonderful example of the JC-series 2+2 grand tourer, boasting a desirable factory specification and enhanced by a few tasteful upgrades. Presented in smart overall condition and reported to be in fine mechanical health, this rotary-engined rarity is now ready to drive and enjoy as intended, and would make a wonderful addition to any collection of lesser-seen Japanese vehicles.
