The RX-3 is the one people ask about. The F40 and the R34 get recognised and then passed over; a green 1970s Mazda stops somebody in a hallway and makes them lean in.
That counts for more on a wall than it does on a t-shirt. A print you walk past every day is better company if it still has something to give after a fortnight.
There is more to look at here than in any other drawing on the site — the grille bars, four round headlights, the mirrors out on stalks, and chrome along the whole front.
Mazda RX-3 Posters
Printed on 185gsm semi gloss stock, which holds the chrome better than a matte paper would. The highlights along the bumpers rely on the sheen of the paper to read as chrome at all.
Sizes:
- Small – 23.2 x 15.5 in or 59 x 39.3 cm
- Medium – 33.1 x 22 in or 84 x 56 cm
- Large – 46.9 x 31.2 in or 119 x 79.3 cm
Mazda RX-3 Framed Art Prints
Two profiles: a box frame 20mm wide and 40mm deep, or a flat frame 30mm wide and 20mm deep. Flat is the better match for a car with this much in it — a deep box casts a shadow across the print, and this is not artwork that can afford to lose its edges.
Sizes:
- Small – 12 x 8 in or 30.5 x 20.3 cm
- Medium – 18 x 12 in or 45.7 x 30.5 cm
- Large – 24 x 16 in or 61 x 40.7 cm
Frame styles:
- Box frame – 20mm wide x 40mm deep
- Flat frame – 30mm wide x 20mm deep

Mazda RX-3 Art Prints
Same drawing as the framed print above, supplied as a sheet on its own.
The RX-3 rewards a bit of size here. It is the most detailed drawing in the range: chrome bumpers, four round headlights, the fender mirrors standing out either side. At print scale those read from across a room, where smaller formats start to lose them into the green.
Green is the most forgiving colour in the range to frame, sitting happily in wood as well as in black — which is not true of the yellow or the red. And an unframed print is the easy answer for a workshop wall, where glass would only collect dust.
Sizes:
- Small – 16 x 12 in or 40.6 x 30.5 cm
- Medium – 20 x 16 in or 50.8 x 40.6 cm
- Large – 24 x 18 in or 61 x 45.7 cm
- Extra Large – 32 x 24 in or 81.3 x 61 cm
Mazda RX-3 Photographic Prints
Silver halide onto archival quality paper, which is the process worth having for this car in particular. It resolves fine lines more cleanly than the alternatives, and fine lines are most of what the RX-3 is made of.
Sizes:
- Small – 12 x 8 in or 30.5 x 20.3 cm
- Medium – 18 x 12 in or 45.7 x 30.5 cm
- Large – 24 x 16 in or 61 x 40.7 cm
- Extra Large – 30 x 20 in or 76.2 x 50.8 cm

Mazda RX-3 Canvas Or Wood Mounted Prints
Wood mounting suits this car more than any other in the range. Printed on 6mm birch ply with the grain coming through and the corners rounded off, a 1970s Japanese car on visible wood reads as a period object rather than as merchandise.
Sizes:
- 8.5 x 10.5 in or 22 x 27 cm
- Medium – 13 x 16 in or 33 x 41 cm
- Large – 14.8 x 18 or 38 x 46 cm

How ordering works
HartCar is one person with an interest in cars. As a permanent traveler it is difficult to maintain stock and ship orders because I am never in one place for too long. Therefore I use a third party print on demand service to create and ship each item. Your order will be securely processed on their website. This also makes it ideal if you would like something customised such as a different colour car, background or maybe a stripe or two. If this sounds like something you may be interested in, please get in touch.
