The term "factory new" is often used to describe used cars in good condition, but vintage cars that are actually in the same condition as when they came off the production line are actually hard to find. Or are they? This Mazda 818 1.6 SL Coupe is in truly unique condition and has only 208 original miles on the odometer. The protective plastic is still on the door panels. In 1979 this example was delivered for showroom sale to a Dutch Mazda dealer, who put the car away dry until 06-2023, without even applying for a license plate. Recently the car was made running and included in the collection of a Mazda enthusiast, who is offering the car for auction. The 818 is beautifully executed in typical Seventies bronze metallic over a brown interior with Houndstooth motif. The 818 is equipped with the NA 1600 engine block, erroneously registered by the RDW as 1.3. The Mazda is also equipped with various options, as can be read on the original showroom flyer with options list. The photos speak for themselves, it is truly a fascinating time capsule. To get a good picture of the lot we advise you to come to the viewing day.
