Has anyone told em we have ****loads of em down here? Just like their own people. Still, it'd be funny to see kingswoods leaving the country at the same rate as skylines coming in.

There is one at the Whiteman park Motor Museum in WA. They were fitted with the 12A rotary engine and had a shocking looking interior trim.

Oh alright... so i shouldn't mention how many locals they could smuggle in, hidden in the boot of one? And hell with a 13B in it, you'd have enough room for a small family in the engine bay Why do i have a feeling this will be edited? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

no ****, they probably could have fit the engine in the glovebox thats a premier anyway, not a kinger... best car the japs ever had I bet Someone told me they were quite sought after in asia as a collectible thing

They still had the weight of the good old Kingswood, so they were still capable of driving straight through a brick wall

That's right!,in the Holden book I have got Holden sent the body and panels of a HJ Kingswood over to Mazda in Japan to assemble and trial fit a rotary motor into it. For some reason Holden ditched the idea.

The car was actually produced only as a Mazda, not a Holden, and I think they were glad they bailed on the idea

Most of them were all Diplomat cars! (from memory) theirs also a Mini Bus that came out with a 13B in it.. (factory) (like a 15 seater!) and you can still buy a new rotory powered Road Bike.. More photos of the Road Pacer: Including engine shot! http://members2.easyspace.com/hotholdens/model/h/mazda-roadpacer.html Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Just too much weight in the fat Kingswood for the N/A Rotary to lug around
