Hi there,

The Spirit is a great car, and superbly spec\'ed, but in the cold light of day it is a 3rd gen RX7 with very smart extras. To that end, insurance/running costs etc will be on par with other RX\'s, except if you need to replace some of the "extras" that are more specific to the Spirit and RZ - these will of course be more expensive. Reliability will be the same as any other RX (indeed any other car for that matter) - it all depends on how you look after it and how you drive it! As Kevin rightly says, 1500 were made for the Japmarket only, so any in the UK are imported. Of the 1500, 1000 were Type A and the other 500 spilt up into Type B and Type C (not sure what the split number is though).

PS: Kevin - thanks for the link to the web site! Small it may be, but hopefully it will grow!;)
