This Mazda RX-7 Spirit R Type B is a collectible Japanese performance car, and number 1,172 of the 1,500 examples produced. It is powered by a twin-turbocharged 1.3-litre rotary engine, delivering 206kW to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission. This RX-7 was originally delivered to Japan before later being exported to Australia, where it passed the Compliance process in February 2019. The odometer displays 127,165 kilometres. Build year: 2002 Introduced as the final production variant of the RX-7, the limited-edition Spirit R models were available in three different model variants: the Type A, Type B, and Type C. All three versions included red brake callipers and interior panels with a special soft coating. The Type B featured a two-plus-two seating configuration and a five-speed manual transmission. This example is finished in Vintage Red over a red and black leather-trimmed cabin. It rides on a set of dark grey 18-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels, fitted with Dunlop tyres. Equipment includes air conditioning and a Pioneer Carrozzeria stereo. Accompanying the sale is the owner’s manual, service history, and spare wheel. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: swirl marks, light scratches, and ‘dints’ on the paintwork and slight wear on the driver’s seat. The seller also reports that there is a minor oil leak from the engine. There is a valid Victorian registration in place, which expires on 6 February 2025. The car was last serviced in March 2024 at 127,045 kilometres, which included replacing the engine oil and filter. Prior to this, services were carried out in January 2023 and February 2021. The third-generation Mazda RX-7 was introduced in October 1991, with its attractive and curvaceous styling continuing largely unchanged through to the model’s retirement in 2002. This example is in highly collectible ‘Spirit R’ guise and is one of 1,500 numbered cars built as the model’s final production variant. Finished in a vibrant colour scheme and fitted with a vocal cat-back exhaust to amplify its instantly recognisable soundtrack, it would make a great addition to any collection as well as an engaging companion for weekend blasts and track days.
