Happy Wednesday, now please enjoy these sweet Autozam AZ-1 photos – Jalopnik

As long as you get the whole car in at least a few photos, it’s not hard to take better car photos than the ones you see on Facebook Marketplace. To take Great car photos, on the other hand, are much more difficult. If you want great photos of a moving car, go ahead and double or triple the difficulty, partly because you now need two drivers who know what they’re doing. And yet, while This Autozam Az-1 from 1994 currently for sale on Cars & Bids shouldn’t be sold for supercar money, the owner hasn’t just made money for great photos. They even jumped up for a little car-on-car action.

Unfortunately, the seller only included one of the car-to-car photos in the listing, but that doesn’t mean the static shots aren’t great too. If you are the photographer, or know who took these photos, please let us know in the comments so you get proper credit here. Oh well, go ahead and add a link to your other work too. I may not know much about photography, but something tells me whoever made this AZ-1 look so good has plenty of other excellent photos in his portfolio. And if you happen to want to share a few more car-to-car shots from this shoot, I certainly won’t complain.

Of course, it doesn’t hurt that this particular AZ-1 looks excellent. It’s certainly not stock, but the owner very clearly had a vision they wanted to achieve. I don’t know if everyone will love the plaid interior, but personally I think it looks fantastic. In the comments they said that they wanted to make the interior stand out, and they certainly succeeded here. I also mean: come on. Who doesn’t love plaid chairs? Maybe you can find an example of a car with plaid seats that look bad, but I certainly haven’t seen one.

This particular AZ-1 is also a rare M2-1015 model with the hood, fog lights, wing and bumper you see here. Reportedly fewer than 50 examples were ever built, and I have to say the extra kit makes the AZ-1 look really cool. And while there’s no way the turbocharged 657cc inline-three is making serious power now, the seller has added several performance mods that should make it even more fun to drive than it originally was. This includes a Mazdaspeed exhaust system, Mazdaspeed struts, a Turbosmart blow-off valve, MOMO steering wheel, 15-inch Work Meister wheels and a Mazda RX-7 Spirit R shift knob.

Our CMS compresses photos, so you’ll want that go to Cars & Bids to rate them as they were meant to be seen, but hey, that’s not too bad. Be careful. Maybe you’ll buy the damn thing. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
