The Mazda Luce still stands as one of the most beautiful coupes to come out of Hiroshima. Its American market equivalent, the RX-4, is extremely rare but here’s one just cold sitting in a Japanese barn waiting to roar again. Judging by that dust blanket it hasn’t been touched in decades, not even for a peek inside. Heck, even the Cyprus DMZ Toyotas have seen more action.
Click here for a super-high-resolution vesion. Unfortunately the photographer left no clue as to its whereabouts, but maybe an enterprising sleuth can locate it based on his other pictures.

There’s an older guy in my area that daily drives an rx4. I even had the honor of selling him a set of wheels for it a few years back at my work! Unfortunately they were 16″ konig rewinds, lol. I haven’t seen it for a few years, but he was so proud of it that I am fairly certain it’s getting the garage and shine treatment now 😀
More deets! Color, year, sedan or coupe?
Not particularly uncommon here in New Zealand…

Stop rubbing it in! 🙂
Maybe a few in South Africa, but my cousins will keep them for themselves.
I’m going to have to check out this hoppysan’s site in more detail when I get home from work tonight. It looks like he’s an excellent photographer. I mean, just look at that picture. Subject, composition, light… the more I look at it, the more amazed I am. Even better, it appears all his pictures come in super-hi-res.
“it appears all his pictures come in super-hi-res.”
Which apparently you can’t save… :^P
you can if you know how to in Mozilla
(shoot me a PM)
You don’t need Mozilla. You can do it in any webbrowser. Just go to page source. I found it easy in Chrome:
