1970 Mazda Cosmo
L10B
A great example of
Mazda’s first rotary-engined car. Last year, I bought this L10B Cosmo
and a 110S Cosmo from one of Japan’s largest rotary-engine car
collectors. Chassis number 777 was the car that he drove most
frequently to Cosmo Owner’s Club meetings and car shows because of it’s
cool chassis number and excellent condition.

6 Cosmos.
This wonderful Cosmo has only ever been
sympathetically restored and therefore never fully apart. This means
that it will drive better and will remain more solid than a car that’s
been taken apart and put back together. These, like many older cars are
rarely the same again after having been disassembled.
The steering wheel, air cleaner, wheels and hubcaps are all correct and
original to this car. These are often missing and if you compare
this car to recent auctions, you’ll see the majority of cars on offer
without these difficult to find original pieces. They typically sport
custom rims and steering wheels and other odd pieces. The only car that
I’ve seen in person, which I think is superior to this car an L10A, which had been restored to an impeccable standard and which sold for
$264, 000 at the Gooding and Co Pebble Beach auction last year.
You can see from the pics below that the undercarriage remains in
excellent original condition without rust issues and without any
structural issues or repairs. The paint was done long enough ago to
bear some patina, but not so long ago that it looks to need
refurbishment. The interior is exceptional, you will notice correct and
perfect seats, original diamond pattern leather and a brand new carpet.
The rear window has a period mesh style “tint” with the words “Cosmo
Sport Owner’s Club” visible near the base of the rear window. The
dashboard looks to be all original and excellent.

This
super-cool JDM classic runs and drives very well and the cabin has been
fitted with an aftermarket a/c which blows very cold!
Here’s
a short video “drive-by” here
I first drove this
car in Japan, in Tokyo traffic, with the heat and humidity of late
summer and the a/c performed very well. This car also holds the unique
distinction of being the only car that I’ve driven in an elevator.

Mazda
Cosmos were hand built at the rate of approximately one per day. It’s
believed that there were only 1, 176 L10B Cosmos built between 1968 and
1972. The Series II/L10B was introduced in July, 1968. It had a
more-powerful 128 hp 0813 engine, power brakes, 15 inch wheels and a
5-speed manual transmission. The wheelbase had been expanded by 15
inches for more room and a better ride. This Cosmo was good for over
120 mph and could accelerate to cover a quarter mile in 15.8 seconds.
This car has a clean and clear title. It comes with a set of
tools, a jack, a spare tire and other goodies.
