MAZDA 100TH ANNIVERSARY

The Collector

Rubén Ruíz / ATENZA (3rd) (MAZDA6) / Mexico

I am Rubén Ruíz. I am 33 years old, and I consider myself a true Mazda Fan. I own over 250 scale models of different Mazda vehicles.

My love for Mazda began almost 15 years ago when I decided to buy a car, but I hadn’t decided which brand yet, and a colleague asked me if I had heard of these new cars that were coming to Mexico. He showed me their website and that was enough for me to know that I wanted a Mazda. I picked one, and I finally acquired a Mazda3.

I started my collection when I found a grey 1979 RX-7 on the internet. I told the owner that it was a very pretty Mazda; he told me that it was not a Mazda, I insisted that it was. He took out this little car from one of his displays, we corroborated that it was a Mazda RX-7 and he gave it to me.

And that is how it all began. I love my model cars, and my Mazda6 as well, of course.
