The Mazda Pathfinder XV-1, commonly called the Mazda Jeep (Burmese: မာဇဒါဂျစ်), is a 4x4 Mazda built from 1970 to 1973 in an assembly plant in Burma strictly for Burmese market.[1] The Pathfinder XV-1's were used mostly by Burmese military, police and government officials. [2]
Variants[]
The Pathfinder XV-1 came as either soft-tops or hard-tops, and could seat up to nine people on a pair of large folding benches in the rear.[1][3] The Pathfinder XV-1's came in long or short wheelbase versions with a canvas roof.
Some hardtop SWB versions were also made, as were four-door LWB wagons (the LWB canvas-top cars were always two-door). [4]
