Sao Penza

The Sao Penza was a car of the lower middle class, which was from 1991 in the UK by Automotive Holdings, a subsidiary of Mazda Cars Ltd. , The official importer sold. These were a renamed version of the Mazda 323, imported from South Africa, where the 1985 model of SAMCOR (now Ford South Africa) was still mounted at this time. There were 5 - door wagon sedans and 4-door notchback sedans in rather simple facilities.

The cars were about GBP 2.000, - cheaper than the corresponding current Mazda 323 - models. But the old-fashioned appearance, unknown brand and unfair, bad publicity ensured that the car was withdrawn from the UK market after a few years.
