Chassis:
The third and final 767 chassis produced, this example was not pressed into service during the 1988 season. It was first seen during the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1989 where it finished 12th overall. It returned a year later, where it served as a back-up to the new 787 and placed first in the GTP class. In 1991, it was sold to a Japanese privateer team, who campaigned the car in the Japanese GT championship well into the 1992 season. Chassis 767 - 003 was subsequently acquired by a South African enthusiast, who only demonstrated the car on select occasions. In 2013, two German brothers bought the howling machine and have prepared it for historic racing. They first raced the car to universal acclaim at the 2014 Spa Classic. It was then comprehensively rebuilt and re-appeared at the 2016 Goodwood Festival of Speed. One of just two four-rotor Mazda prototype racers in private hands, it was then consigned to Gooding's 2017 Amelia Island sale.
