Hello from Greece,

Is there any knowledge on the numbers of R100, RX2, 3 and 4 imported to UK, and an estimaton of survivors? 1800s?
Are there any 1500/1800, 10a RX3 sedan and RX4 1974 coupe interior stock photos in order to compare the features in GR/UK?

Thanks
P.S. Sorry if the first question has been already  discussed

There were at least 3 or 4 official R100s brought into the UK.
RX2\'s there were very few,but I know of two survivors.
As for RX3\'s I am not sure of sedans,but supposedly there were around 8000 of all kinds sold here.
RX4\'s only about 400 came into the UK.
I have seen at least one 1800.
As for survivors I know of around 30 RX3\'s,8 RX4\'s,no R100\'s and maybe one 1800.
Regards
Carl

Thanks for the information, 30 RX3s confirmed is not that bad, it must be the higher number in Europe.
You taped 8000 RX3s imported, is it OK, or you wanted to write 800?

Carl

8000 RX3\'s from a reliable source.
1st gen RX7\'s is reckoned to be around 7000

In England the RX3 was used alot for racing,in some races as many as 7 or 8 RX3\'s were racing in the same class!The RX3 was quite popular here.

Now I can explain why I met a 10a engine for sale in UK and immaculate RX3s on the forum.
Could we swap an RX3..............for 2 RX4s from Greece?????? (not 100% joke)
