1969 Mazda R100 Historic Sports Sedan For Sale

I’m in two minds if I want to sell the car as the prices of historic racing cars is on the rise and I would like to compete in Group U Historic Sports Sedan, due to another commitment I don’t want the R100 sitting in the shed not being used. This Mazda R100 was originally CAMS log booked in 1977 and I have full documents from the original log book application to over 30 years of racing results, images and history of the car. Book is over 76 pages with articles from Racing Car News, Auto Action and photos provided from previous owners -this took over 2 years worth of research to put together.

Neville Cherry built the Mazda R100 back 1977 & raced in Tassie Sports Sedan, was the quickest under 3Lt Sports Sedan holding lap records in Tassie till 1981 being beaten by Allen Grice’s JPS BMW Sports Sedan. The R100 was shown in the 1980 Motor Racing Year Book as being the quickest local sports sedan.

In 1982 car was sold to Fred Munday who raced in Victoria Sports Sedan Championship, Larry Kogge from LK Tuning continued to develop the R100 and drove the car winning the 1984 Victorian Sports Sedan Championship. In 1984-85 the R100 also raced in the Australian GT rounds against the Rusty French’s Pantera, Peter Brock in the Monza, Allen Grice’s Monza, Allan Jones’s Porches 935, John Bowe’s Veskar sport car, Bryan Thomson - Mercedes 450Sl / Chev Monza. The R100 had several top 10 finishes.

In 1986 Bill Emany bought the R100, Bill had great success winning the 1987 under 3lt Sports Sedan Championship in Victoria and in September 1987 the R100 was on the front cover of Racing Car News. The car was then sold to Stuart and Brett Eckford in NSW in 1988, the Eckford’s set some amazing lap times in the R100 at Sydney race tracks with a lap time of 44.9sec at Oran Park South while taking out race wins. Since then the R100 has had 4 other owners in NSW before I purchased the car in 2008. I cleaned the body work as it was bit rough in places and rebuilt /replaced basically everything on the car.

I

finally found some 13inch wheels to fit the car late last year as this is how the car raced in the 70- 80’s so it’s basically ready to get its Historic Log Book, would just need to paint it back in the original colours and make the rear wing bigger to be identical to how it raced in 1985 in the GT Sports Sedan rounds. This car is race ready, was running around Wakefield Park two weeks ago for the Skyline Aust. V’s Rotary of NSW Supersprint and lapping in the 1:08’s on cold winter day with old tyres.

The R100 currently has 230hp at 8500rpm, I don’t rev past this as I wanted it to be reliable and that it is has not missed a beat for over 2 years. Currently the car weights around 800kg but was originally log booked at only 712kg. Last year I ran the CAMS NSW Supersprint Series done all 9 rounds and took out the class win at every round. This really is a jump in and drive historic race car.

Best lap times recorded over the last 30 years and have official results to prove lap times.
