Holden exported/sold these to mazda who fitted Rotary 13B and sold them.
Also think they were fitted with power windows/central locking, and power steering.

It was the 70's lol.

Holy Crap, It's real...lmao...What a crazy thought, that 13b would be guzzling fuel to lug that metal tank around...lol...

Early Jap Limo - True. All sorts of goodies that the Aussies could only dream of.

Very interesting to read the comments of the younger forum members who have never seen these things before.

Holden and Mazda had an arrangement during the HJ series in 1975 to export engineless Premiers to Japan where Mazda fitted their rotary engine, as already mentioned. The car was intended to be the top of the line luxo Mazda, but was a flop for all sorts of reasons, not the least of which would have been sluggish performance. The Roadpacer (typical dumb Jap name) only lasted for a very short period and was only intended for the Japanese domestic market. Any seen outside Japan would have been private imports (Question - why the hell would you bother?)

Imagine Mazda coming to the General today to supply cars under a similar arrangement....not!
