D Spares & Tyres Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 No, but there is a Ford Escort Bantam for sale in Classic Car Buyer. No pics but I`m pretty sure they were the same front end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Split_Pin Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Several 323s of the type you speak of very near me and needing a new home. And welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Q Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 If they were all correctly registered, and government databases are accurate (lol) then there is 1 Sao Penza left on SORN. https://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/vehicle/sao_penza Last one taxed was in 2013.

Richard Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 It's somewhere in Scotland, I can't remember exactly where. I need to get along there and look for H898OMS so I can give it a boot in the baws. Dick Longbridge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfamale Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I can put you in touch with a rather nice chap in Cape Town who will be happy to bung you one in a container and ship it to the UK if you cross his palm with silver Dick Longbridge, Lacquer Peel and strangeangel 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Split_Pin Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 The Mazda collection is indeed in Scotland. If the op is genuinely interested I am sure one of us Scots who know where the cars are van signpost him or her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nisfan Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Me and FOAD went a few years ago to see the Mazda collection with the guy who owns them, wasn't for selling much apart from the green 626 twr coupe or the silver 323 "rally car" Dick Longbridge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacquer Peel Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 For way above their actual (scrap) value I imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nisfan Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 £700 for the coupe (around 170k miles I think) and the same for the 323 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlabamaShrimp Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 And one day there will be just a collection of snapped and falling apart cars in a field that some poor sod from the council has to come and drag away.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Longbridge Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Holy thread revival. Just spotted this gem on facebook. 22k from new and found in the garage of a property the fella bought. Looks like there’s already lots of interest, even though it’s not actually for sale at the moment. Last remaining Sao Penza anyone?What a find! cort1977, phil_lihp, Sigmund Fraud and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MorrisItalSLX Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 If it's Re-Badged Mazda 323s you want, then the Ford Laser may be of interest https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Laser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some creativity going on with the plate too, as spotted by @egg It's been 'saved' previously. Looks like it needs saving properly now. Is Nigel on the other place? Anyone on good terms with him? Interesting to know what's going on with it. egg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain_70s Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Nigel is on the other place, he has loads of cars though, probably not on the priority list atm. Plate swappage potentially in order to avoid attracting attention given the car is sort of on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
