Hex lights are JDM only, with the exception that US cars did have them in 1976 (I have a US brochure from '76 showing them), possibly earlier.

Hex on JDM 12A models circa 1973 - 1977.

Some last series RX-3's on run out were badged V100 which had a tail light same as US spec SP cars, straight vertical line lenses.  Extremely rare.

Tea Cup lights were also JDM only on 10A GT and GS spec cars, 1971-72.  Never exported.

Others were round style.  There maybe the odd variance in weird export markets....

 

Perfect .. thanks for that..

Plate was Meow.

oh yeah... saw this at Westgate Mega Mitre 10. Looks like real nice condition. 4.2litre variety.

Quick question - what rx3s did the Hexagonal rear lights come out on.... just the 12A Savannas..?? Spending a bit of money on the coupes.

It might be a market dependant thing?  I'd just search for brochures and see what haps. 

I found this one for you. 

Yes. Original brochures make sense. Am scanning through them now. Thanks!

Anyone have pictures of exactly what badges go where on a square-headlamp rx2 coupe and 10A rx3 coupe from new? So many variations out there... I just want to get the badges right as they were from factory. Pac Performance seem to have a pretty good selection of replica badges nowadays... unless anyone knows better? Cheers.

Case in point. Did the rx2 coupe come with this badge on the boot lid? 50% of cars have it. 50% don't.

Nice video post Oldrx7...really enjoyed it. Wish I had gone. Will def be there in 2022.

Is REunion any fun going to if you don’t take a rota? 

5 years in storage. Fired up on the second turn..!

Left hook and uncomplied. Yes it is rare but my oh my prices are getting silly. Wonder what a stock 808 coupe would be worth?

I hear that red ones sell for way higher prices...!

was checking out some FDs on Trademe recently now that back in the country... wow...what happened to the prices..!? Cant see anything under $30k. And here I was thinking the Mazdatax was limited to FBs, 2s, 3s and 4s...

Not that I can go... but is King of the Rotaries still going ahead this weekend? If not... is there a new date they are shooting for?

Yep, it was sold at the time of shoot. Last hurrah trackday!

Good for him. Such a sweet ride.

I wonder if Aidan sold the FB In the end. He was asking $60k for it.

Bugger..!

Lived in Seoul from 2001-2003 ... never saw 1 FD... FC or FB for that matter.

black z4 coupe nice. Looked like a good deal. Z4 convertibles are nice... owned one in HK and brought it into NZ... but wasnt a fan of the cloth roof in NZ weather. Sold it for a song... $19k 6 years ago with only 28,000kms on it. Pic below.

That 996 sold cheap...although dont like the 996 styling that much. If you can stretch to the 997... I think much nicer styling inside and out (personal view)...do it. Had a manual turbo...lovely car... but not cheap to service!! Fark.

There is a Strada for sale on the FB Fiat Strada 130tc Register NZ.

Found it! Thanks for that. I’ll need to respray it Rosso red. But looks good. Do you still have yours?

Are these people serious? It’s a cool car but $50k? As if fake rx's couldn’t be worth more. I’ve never understood the attraction to these. Yeah they’re lightweight blah blah blah but $50k? I’d stretch the budget another $10k and buy an r35 gtr. 

I guess it comes down to the fact that there is probably someone out there that has always dreamed of owning such a car and the buying options are now so limited that $50k may not seem like so much to get the car they have always pined for. I cant say I understand the interest in a 1300... but most people around me think I am absolutely nuts owning a pp rx2 coupe.  Like completely bonkers. So it's all relative. Probably what mystifies me more is there are some much more usable classics out there that still sit around the $10-15-20k price when a 1300 like this is up around the $50k mark. Lancia Volumex, Saab 900S Turbo, Alfa Veloce Sprint to name a few. And if I could just get my hands on a Fiat Strada 105 TC...............

Just in case you missed it...
