1967 Mazda Cosmo Sport (110S)

The Cosmo Sport (110S) - the world's first dual-rotor rotary engine production car - was officially launched on May 30th 1967.

This particular 1967 Cosmo Sport 110S L110A model is owned by
Mazda North America Operations, based in Irvine, Calif. Records
show only two 1967 Cosmos were exported to the US, this one
being registered to Curtiss-Wright Corporation, the North American
rights-holder of the Wankel rotary engine, until February 1984 (Mazda was the Asian rights-holder for use of the engine in motor
vehicles). It subsequently changed hands three more time before
coming back "home" to Mazda. The odometer reading is original
and correct at a little over 11,000 km.
