Mr_Bo11ox Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Its coming up as a Mazda on the DVLA site, 660CC too! Most unusual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volksy Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 From Wiki.."In the late 1980s, Mazda diversified in the Japan market with the launch of three new marques. The company created Autozam, Eunos, and Efini, in addition to the Mazda and Ford brands already marketed there. This experiment was ended in the mid-1990s.The Autozam marque specialized in small cars and keicars with many models being rebadged Suzukis. This is the only Mazda marque to survive the 1990s - many of the vehicles are still sold with the "AZ" prefix." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Yeah, basically Autozam is the "interesting small car" brand of Mazda. Really just Mazda stuff differently badged for them. Probably most well-known under that brand is the Autozam AZ-1: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRegieRitmo Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 shitty grandad carmakers. They did a lawn mower powered two seater. ............ I think..You must be thinking of Aixam who are French. They make things that are like Smart Cars but worse in every possible way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Those Aixams sound EXACTLY like a lawnmower and have caught me out numerous times, I keep walking down the road expecting one of those council grasscutter things to have appeared in front of me, when really it's just some old Sid pottering to town. Presumably so he can sit on benches and generally disrupt people who have jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandamonium Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 My bad That AZ1 is lovely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuvvum Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 The Noddy-car-shaped Mazda 121 as originally badged Autozam Revue, if memory serves. That Autozam pickup looks a lot like a rebadged Piaggio Porter/Daihatsu HiJet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I thought Eunos was the JDM model name for the Mazda MX5/Miata. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outlaw118 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I feel quite ashamed of myself, even noticing!! I really should get out more. In fact, we all should.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRegieRitmo Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Kia Pride I spy 146 There was one in the car park at work today parked only a couple of spaces from mine, also X reg, the first X reg besides mine I've seen. It was in good nick in a sort of metallic sand colour. Only a 1.6 T Spark though unlike my full fat version! It was only the 2nd 146 one I'd seen since the one I saw on boxing day. How many other people out there can say they drive a modern car that they only see a 1 or 2 others a month? Interestingly I saw a 607 the other day & thought to myself how you don't come across many unsurprisingly, and now I've seen 4 or 5 in two days, quite remarkable!
