Sadgoth, thank you for such a comprehensive summary of the reality of importations and type approval with non-UK cars. This all makes a lot more sense now.

Kevin, Gmogle, thank you for your advice and I agree with you completely. It does indeed seem that unless I could put the vehicle in a time capsule, there is going to be little profit in such an import at this time.

Kieron, it would appear that unless I look to buy an RX7 for the track, then there is currently little other reason for buying one!

A Spirit R wouldn\'t appear to be a sensible investment at this point in time.

Nik, I do see your point about the red seats in the RA. It does look a little odd in my opinion, too. I suppose that must be the embodiment of key difference between the RA and the RB. One is held out to be a track car, whilst the other is supposed to be a more sensible road-use option.

The seats actually look very good in the car. I\'d suggest the red is not that bright in reality, and in fact brightens up an otherwise dark interior. I appreciate we all have our own opinions though, but I have seen some pics where the red colour seems to be almost fluorescent it is so bright - but that is wrong and an artifact of the photography. Personally, I think they suit the car very well!:D

Well, you should know, mate. Since it\'s your car :god, no-one else\'s opinion on the subject really matters

[Kieron]

Red Recaro seats FTW!!! :yes

Only good investments i\'ve made have been qualifications and certificates for my job. Which get me more money to waste on stuff like cars

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, so if someone does not like the idea of the red seats, then that\'s OK with me:Thumbs-up.

Spirit R\'s are currently now only being sold from 2 million yen upwards in Japan.

Still, its not going to be an investment.

[Hi RX7]

Pipps,
I was wondering as to whether you have made any decision regarding the RX7
