How to get hold of later model RX7 (99-02)?

[Oedipus Rex]

can;t remember to be honest, I only saw it once and when I tried to go back to it, the seller had removed it because it was no longer available, so no second look for me.

Yea, I can\'t find it now either....under current or finished searches. Obviously removed. But it must be the same one....reckon the seller had only used the phrase Spirit to get attention. The car wasn\'t an actual Spirit.

They do come up reasonably regularly at some Jap auctions, so you could buy one.....just not use in this country! Any excuse for a bit of globe trotting!!:D (Sorry luv, just popping out for a spin in the car.....back in 2 weeks!)

Just read this on Newera\'s website....

If owners of Imports in UK see there is no report available for their car, but would like to help make it possible to import such cars, please view //www.modelreportsdirect.com & //www.modelreports.com   - All you\'ll need to do is supply them with a mechanically standard car already in the UK, - for a model report to be prepared. It\'s FREE!
They\'ll own the model report, although the car\'s supplier will have access to the report for which their car was used - free of charge. The more model reports available, the better for all Jap car enthusiasts.

Any one of you 3 Spirits want to volenteer(sp?)!!! :god

Not going to be easy on a late FD I dont think...people have been messing about with MR\'s for the 96-98 cars without much success I believe.

Dam shame - I shouldn\'t be dissapointed though - like I could afford one anyway! :rollin

You can get a spirit R if you got plenty of cash to spare but TBH whats the point.

Of course there is another way that one of the good chaps on Skyline Owners Club has enquired about with VOSA. You buy the car in Japan, completely strip it down to just a shell and a heap of parts, import it in a box, and photograph each step of your re-assembly efforts in the UK. You can then legally SVA and register it as an amateur built vehicle. No model report required and different emissions requirements.

Thats a fair amount of work though!

Oh I\'d love a mint last edition Spirit R, who has the newest FD in the UK then?

Each to their own, of course! I personally like the thought of owning one of the very last RX7s, after, what, 24years in production. Granted, it is an FD, but its still a bit of "history".

Assuming the Spirit badges are truely sequential (don\'t actually know if they are, but it would make sense!), then Andrew\'s of Jimmys is quite a late number!
