A nicely preserved example of this rarely seen Mazda saloon car
Imported by the current owner from Sweden in 2016
Presenting in a highly original and well-maintained condition
The Appeal
The Mazda 929 was a model name used only in export markets for a large, by Japanese standards, saloon which was called the Mazda Luce in domestic markets. The car was produced in Coupe, Station Wagon and Sedan, as seen here, variants. For the period between 1973 and 1991, the 929 represented Mazda’s largest saloon offering.
This example was personally imported by the current owner in 2016 and has been owned, used and enjoyed by him ever-since. It is presented it a highly original, left-hand drive configuration having been imported from Sweden. Thanks to diligent ownership and maintenance, this 929 is ready to use and enjoy by its next owner.
Japanese saloon cars of this era attract a knowledgeable and enthusiastic following. A Mazda 929 of this period is a very rare sight in the UK and is likely to be very well received in various JDM clubs and meets across the country. Its rarity is bound to attract glances and initiate conversations wherever it goes.
This appears to be a very well-preserved example of an already rare car. The bodily condition seems to be very sound which, likely, bodes well for the future longevity of the car. It is in a highly original condition and is reported to run well and be eminently useable. There are just a handful of small jobs that could be attended to at the new owner’s leisure to improve this example further still. This presents the opportunity to put your own stamp on the car and go on to enjoy the rarity value of this Mazda saloon for many years to come.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.

We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.

You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
