Thanks for the great photos.
I particularly liked the Spirit R & the yellow-gold MX5 Coupe.
The white RX4 Coupe brought back memories of my own '74.

Sadly it is not open to the public, the guy who showed us through the cars said they hope to have a museum one day. I was lucky enough to go because I am a Mazda dealer and even then it took some chasing. If you are in LA on a Saturday morning I suggest heading to coffee and cars which is held in the Mazda car park from about 5-9 am, no shortage of great cars and a really cool morning

Spirit R was made for the head of Mazda USA and is apparently the only LHD ever made which I found fascinating
