M2 1002

Automobiles

The M2 1002, nicknamed the Vintage, was the second production model of M2, the Tokyo-based Mazda subsidiary that tuned and developed special cars until it was shut down in 1995. It appeared about a year after the M2 1001 and was another factory-modified Eunos Roadster, but where the 1001 was a hardcore driving package, the 1002 was aimed at touring, so the drivetrain and chassis were left as they came from Mazda. Its interior was the point of the car: wood trim furnished by Yamaha, striking ivory leather over a large part of the cabin including the dashboard, which was finished in dark blue to match the exterior, and a tan soft top. It lacked the driving lights of the 1001. Buyers were hard to find, and the slow sales led M2 to cancel the next model, the 1003.
