after owning a fd i always wanted something old skool, something like a 68 mustang or a camaro but did not think id be able to bag a rx3 especially one build by era @ oldone rotor shed and previously modded by Bryce Miller from OZ.
Its still running in on a bridge port so got some miles to do before any power goals and is my weekend toy.

Look at this enviously when it was for sale last year.... very nice although all the colour coding is not to my taste.  So unusual for a modded rx3 to be for sale in the UK! Enjoy!

I said the same thing when I saw the pictures but in the flesh it\'s damn amazing, if it looked horrible I would not have taken it.

Very nice! 1 question, why are the gauges outside, does the weather not affect them?

Guess not as the car went to get washed last week and gauges are still fine and its a ausi thing I guess as they all have there gauges out side of there rx3s
