RX2 of the week

A lovely example. Looks in extremely good condition for its age

Came across some older pics of the same car. Someone gave it some TLC before it went on sale (again?), by the looks of it. Another quirk: it's got amber-coloured reversing lights!

Week 8. We stay in France and in 1971. Red Coupé project car with its wheels stuck (according to the ad)

Looks to be in reasonable condition. Is someone working on it, to bring it back on the road?

I found the ad back in December 2016. The car appeared to sell back then, but no idea where it went or what happened to it. As for last week's orange four-door, it appears to have its own youtube-channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/favarer93/videos

Week 7. Another 1971 four-door. This time French. Oh, la vache! Quelle voiture!
(the bonnet is series II and the radiator grille is 616, but never mind)

That's my car

Welcome, Kevin!

That means two Rx2 project cars on the forum!

Btw, you were right about those amber reversing lights. Not easy to see on the pic, but the red French coupé above has them, and so has next week's Rx2 of the week: a French classic rally car. So hold on to those lenses! They are seriously rare!

Right, then. Week 9 approaching. Again, we stay in the land of amber reversing lights. This red series I coupé is made famous by driver Serge Garosi in classic rallies of recent years, not least the Rallye Monte Carlo Historique. A real gem. And it looks really handsome going sideways in the snow, too.

Excellent pictures, thank you.

Casey · February 28, 2021, 07:00:27 PM

Indeed, a great set of pictures

Thanks! And thanks for sorting the site out, Casey!

For week 10 we have a dark green Japanese 4-door from 1971. Ad from January last year and asking price was 3,850,000 yen.

Week 11 coming up. We're probably gonna stay in 1971 until mid summer. This time we have another Japanese original spec car, a Capella Rotary Coupé, as they were called back home. That shade of orange was not available in Europe, but seems to have been on the Japanese domestic market. Stunning car with original-looking aircon. And it's a Sport, so it probably has the handling kit available only in Japan. Btw it's still up for sale here: https://kuruma-ex.jp/usedcar/detail/ccVU3179477575
