RX2 of the week

[Eccentric shaft]

A 73 in a very rare and flattering silver met and with white interior.

We have a new RX-2 that's now arrived in England that will hopefully be out and about in a couple of months.
Don't know much about it other than its got a bridge port

Very nice, congrats UK! 
That looks like a 1974 series 3. It has the late rear lamps and, I assume, the late or intermediate dash.

With RX-7 1st Gen S2 wheels by the looks of it!

Oh no! It's grown a hipster beard! 😱

Now that's where a proper beard ought to be! And always better without a split in the middle!

The latest barn find in South Norway: a 1971 616 sedan. Stored since colliding with an elk in 1986.

Ouch, must have given the driver a real fright! Hope they were OK.

Those A pillars are a problem (and the roof), but otherwise, under the grime, looks to be OK?

Shame it's got a 4 cylinder 

Interesting to see what happens to it next though....

Yep. Our elks can be half a tonne or more –and that weight comes on stilts– so you just don't want to hit one! Looks like the car did pretty well. Right hand side a-pillar took the main blow. Probably was a smaller elk or the driver had time to slow down a bit. There's more damage to right hand side, so the car will be broken for spares, sadly. Lots of good spares there, though.

Here's the impact side (elk came straught out of the woods, as they do). Confirms it's no easy task to straighten this one out. Was hoping for a pair of front wings, but the right-hand-side one is too far gone.
