Mazda's efforts in Group-A rallying began in 1986 with the homologation of the previous-generation 323 4WD powered by the turbocharged 1,623-cc DOHC engine. The works sponsored team scored outright victories in the 1987 Swedish, 1989 Swedish and 1989 New Zealand rallies.
This is ”the original” BF1 body model with FIA Homologation Gr. N and Gr. A.

First owner was the women's World Rally Champion, Minna Sillankorva. She was a member of the rally team of Mazda importer Haka-Auto Oy. Minna's rally car at that time was a Mazda RX-7 Gr.B and later a 323 4wd Turbo Gr.A.
Minna used this 323 as her every day car and a few times as a rally recce car and a fast rally service car.

Impeccable quality of "Nut and bolt" restoration by private owner and enthusiast.
The car has been stripped down to its bare body and completely restored in 2018.
Odometer reading 201000 km.
