The Mazda R100 is one of the most fascinating classics in Mazda history, and a true cult hero for rotary enthusiasts shopping for parts, accessories and maintenance gear at Automotive Superstore. Sold in the late 1960s and early 1970s, the R100 was based on the Familia coupe but fitted with Mazda’s compact 10A twin-rotor engine, giving this small, stylish two-door a character far beyond its size. With its smooth-revving rotary powerplant, lightweight body and distinctive chrome-trimmed styling, the R100 helped introduce everyday drivers to the performance potential of rotary technology.

In Australia, the Mazda R100 earned a strong following thanks to its giant-killing attitude in motorsport and street performance circles. Its rotary engine was small in capacity but loved to rev, making it a popular platform for tuning, engine swaps and drag racing builds. Today, original R100s are highly sought after, with clean examples becoming increasingly collectible. Trivia worth noting: while it looked like a modest family coupe, the R100 shared the same pioneering rotary spirit that later defined icons like the RX-3, RX-7 and RX-8.

For owners and restorers, keeping a Mazda R100 in top condition means paying close attention to cooling, ignition, fuel delivery, suspension and braking components. Whether you are maintaining a period-correct classic or building a spirited weekend rotary, Automotive Superstore offers a wide range of automotive parts, tools, fluids and accessories to help preserve this rare Mazda legend.
