Time warp 1974 Mazda Capella カペラ

The history on this car is quite extraordinary; I bought the car from the original owner who had only put a surprising 68,000 miles on it. The car had always been serviced with Mazda throughout its life and had never missed a service (log book is complete and up to date). This sort of attention to detail really shows all over the car. There’s not much I can really put into words, so I’ll let the pictures do the talking…

Thanks,
I'm pretty proud of my car.. and wanted to share it with others. Plus, it's good to form a relationship with Mazda enthusiasts around the world. There are alot of parts that were released on US spec cars that didn't come on Australian models. I am chasing a few bits n pieces and hopefully there might be a few people on here who might be able to assist and vice versa (if anyone from the US needs parts from Aus, I'd be happy to help if I can.) I am a firm believer that car communities are exactly that, a place where people share an interest and help eachother keep their pride and joy in primo condition.

Thanks for the feedback guys! I appreciate it.
I'm chasing a L/H door mirror for an RX3/808 mirror (US drivers side mirror).

and a pair of Mazda 616 emblems

and finally a pair of US/Canadian/South African Capella tail lights

If you could help, that would be great!
Thanks guys.

Here is another picture that I haven’t posted yet, which should make the enthusiasts smile.
Complete service history, touch up paint as well as a host of RACV paraphernalia including the original owners membership card (48 years of loyalty).
