was the US the only place that got these named as both 323 and Protegé? For Instance I had 2 Protege DX sedans one was a 1990 and was badged "323 Protegé" and the other was a 1991 and badged simply as "Protegé" other than the badge the cars were identical. -- Last edit: 2010-07-09 16:44:58 |

It was a 323 here. However, an earlier model was built in South Africa after Mazda were finished with it and was called a Sao Penza. Those were imported into the UK and their used to be two in the small town where I live. One of which had a tap (faucet or spigot to our US correspondents) instead of a gear knob. I have no idea if that was a standard thing but I would assume not. Are there any SAO Penzas on the base? |

Not under that name, but it's been mentioned in comments on cars in South African films listed as 323s and Ford Tracers. /yourcomments.php?search=sao+penza&id= |

Those Sao Penza's are uber rare. Never seen one in the flesh, and their is only one picture of them in Google: http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c370/JOHNSCARS1969/saopenzarear.jpg |

Somewhere I have pictures of the one that used to live around the corner from me. The only one of those pictures I can find of it though is the one with me aged six in the immediate foreground and a very blurred Penza in the background. They were rare to start with but by now with most of them aged nearly 20 years old they must be virtually extinct. |
