Awrite, then, I'll set the ball rolling! Can't promise weekly updates, but perhaps somebody else feels called to edit this particular thread?
Beginning with this charming 818 wagon which is (you guessed) currently for sale @ asking price £4K: https://www.finn.no/car/used/ad.html?finnkode=183662379

Auction nearing the end. Two bodyshells, one 808 and one Rx3 coupé with nothing much else. In NZ:

Not all that many 3s in Norway, but isn't this one cool?

While we wait for an "Rx3 of the week" thread editor to come forward, take a look back at this beautiful wagon restoration.

A rather strange choice of background music for that last one - but these old videos are entertaining to watch

I can't understand a work of Japanese (well, maybe one or two) but the cadence of the language really sounds great (better than the music

)

OK, let's move back to Old Blighty and head to Yorkshire for the next one. Not sure if the music's any better, but this one literally has my name written on the license plate. If it were an Rx2 I'd need to have a word with the owner...

Very possible. Absolutely stunning car! Here's an epic slideshow of it, made for this year's 50th anniversary. Congrats Rx3!
(I can't help but note the competition Rx2s that keep appearing in the race photos, usually right up front!
