Developed by Mazda as its Group A rally homologation special before the manufacturer's withdrawal from top-level rallying, with development testing undertaken by Finnish rally legend Hannu Mikkola

Mazda produced only 2,500 units globally to satisfy FIA rules of which only 200 were finished in UF White

Showing just 75,000km (approximately 46,000 miles) from new and imported to the UK with one UK owner since registration

Subject to approximately £15,000 of expenditure, including a glass-out bare-metal respray by MW Bodyshop, returning the car to an exceptional standard throughout

Numerous rare genuine Mazda exterior trim and mechanical components sourced directly from Japan during the restoration

Upgraded with Bilstein coilovers, 17-inch OZ Rally alloy wheels on Toyo TR1 tyres, a Mazdaspeed carbon gear knob, Alcantara retrimmed steering wheel, retrimmed headlining and a remote immobiliser/alarm system

Mechanically remains close to factory specification, retaining its original Mazda catalytic converter and exhaust system

Major service completed around 3,000km ago including genuine Mazda cambelt and water pump, replacement fluids throughout the engine, gearbox, transfer box and rear differential, Motul fully synthetic engine oil, NGK platinum spark plugs, air filter and new brake discs and pads all round

Accompanied by its original Japanese Export Certificate, HMRC NOVA confirmation, service history, V5C, original Mazda owner's handbook and Japanese Familia book pack

An increasingly rare homologation special, presented in exceptional condition and surely amongst the finest surviving examples available today.
