The AZ-1 was built by Mazda subsidiary Autozam from 1992 to 1994 and featured gullwing doors with inset sliding windows as well as a hood scoop and straked radiator inlets. This example is finished in Classic Red and features gray lower body cladding, dual side-view mirrors, and a rear wing. A paint correction was performed in July 2022.
The white-painted 13″ multi-piece wheels are mounted with 165/60 Bridgestone Potenza RE-01 tires. A painted steel spare wheel with a Yokohama tire is mounted in the cabin. Stopping power is provided by discs at all four corners.
The cabin features faded two-tone black and red fixed-back seats, which are contrasted by a black dashboard, center console, door panels, and rear bulkhead. Appointments include air conditioning, Autozam AZ-1-branded door pulls, red floor mats, and a Kenwood CD player linked to aftermarket speakers mounted on the bulkhead. An area of discoloration on the dash top can be seen in the gallery.
The Sparco flat-bottom steering wheel frames a 140-km/h speedometer, a tachometer with a 9k-rpm redline, and gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. Gauges for turbo boost, temperature, and voltage are mounted in the center stack. The six-digit odometer shows 72k kilometers (~45k miles).
The turbocharged 657cc Suzuki F6A inline-three was rated at 63 horsepower and 63 lb-ft of torque when new. A new battery, distributor cap, rotor, and spark plugs were installed in July 2022, and an oil change was also performed.
