The Haima HMC 6470L Is A Chinese-Japanese Station Wagon

This beautiful beige blue station wagon is a Haima HMC 6470L. It was manufactured from 1992 until 2002, it was based on the 1981-1986 Mazda 929 wagon.

Haima stands for Hainan-Mazda, a joint venture between Hainan Auto and Mazda, founded in 1991 on the always sunny Hainan Island.

The joint venture produced Mazdas for the Chinese market, some branded Mazda, and some branded Haima. ‘HMC’ stands for Hainan Mazda Corporation, the full name of the joint venture.

I saw this particular example in Beijing a few years back. It was in an exceptional good condition. Sadly, most of these brilliant big wagons have been scrapped today.

Small spoiler in the boot lid. Sporty! The license plate is from Shanxi Province, a long ride from the capital Beijing. On the right is the old-school exhaust pipe, sticking out far from under the bumper.
