Unhappy Sad Cosmo L10B

Some time ago I found the attached picture on an Australien site. Perhaps some people have seen it posted here before, but for those who haven't it may be of interest.

I don't know the person who originally took/posted the picture, but if this person reads this, I hope he/she(!) will let us know when and where it was taken and perhaps what happened to the car later on.

BR, Bo

Judging by the local architecture I would guess that's in Japan.

And most of these pic's are in Japan, there are many examples of some very sad rotary's on the side of the road.

At the bottom is a 13A front wheel drive Mazda RE130 Luce in a ditch

I could go for having that old mazda logo grill badge though..
It is sad about that cosmo, but it could be saved.
Just takes a **** load of money and time.
