My very first car was a Mazda RX-7 and ever since, I’ve had the rotary itch. It got so bad that as a teenager I actually went to the school library and checked out the one book they had that talked about the rotary engine, no one went to the library on purpose. It was an older book and the only Mazda it mentioned was the Cosmo, with one small black and white photo of one very similar to this one. Ever since, I’ve wanted one. Sadly, they are extremely rare and nearly impossible to find on our shores. That may explain why this one is already bid up to $110k here on eBay!

While I’m sure rarity has driven bidding, the fact that it only has 21k miles on the odometer has played a part too. As much as I’d love to have this rotary powered beauty, I couldn’t bring myself to drive it after spending so much on such a low mileage example, which would be a real shame as this thing deserves to be seen. I highly doubt the next owner will put many miles on it though, chances are it won’t ever leave a climate controlled storage facility. So am I the only one here that dreams of owning a Cosmo? And would you ever drive it if you were able to find one?
