stanski Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 What a strange turn of events. My other half has a Matchbox Streak-a-round toy from her childhood, which she dug out of the loft for our 4 year old to play with. One of the cars from that was a Matchbox Mazda RX500, a car I have never heard of and yet I do pride myself on being a petrolhead since age 4 ! I had a quick google on it - wow imagine them building that today! What a cool looking machine.Very Space 1999 ish! http://www.autoblog.com/2009/10/22/tokyo-2009-mazda-rx-500-still-awesome-nearly-40-years-later/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Hadn't heard of it until the GT6 came out late last year. Certainly is an interesting vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanski Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 Imagine the impact it would have made in 1970? Probably equivalent of Infiniti Essense today for looks anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliveBoy Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 (edited) Looks like Doc Brown needed an estate car Edit: From the rear as that's the only picture I can see Edited April 14, 2014 by AliveBoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actually ran though a working concept car - imagine the noise though - if you look at the article there are more photo's and I dont think there is a firewall or anything between the cabin and engine!
