1999 Mazda RX-7 Type RS – Manual | 56,500km | Original Paint | Collector-Quality Example
A rare opportunity to acquire an exceptionally well-preserved 1999 Mazda RX-7 Type RS in highly original condition.
With just 56,500km, this RX-7 has been owned by the current mature enthusiast owner for over 12 years and has been meticulously cared for throughout its ownership. It has never been used on a race track, is not driven in the rain, and has been kept as a genuine enthusiast car rather than a modified performance vehicle.
Importantly, the car retains its original factory paint, with the factory suspension and wheels still in place. Other than an upgraded exhaust, it remains remarkably close to its original specification — exactly the sort of originality that is becoming increasingly difficult to find in an FD RX-7.
Mechanically, the car has received extensive preventative and restoration work, including:
• Full engine rebuild
• Turbocharger rebuilt
• All engine solenoids replaced
• All vacuum hoses replaced
• Comprehensive servicing and preventative maintenance
• Full service history
• Comes with the original factory manuals
The level of maintenance and care invested into this RX-7 is exceptional. It has been maintained well beyond what would normally be expected of a 27-year-old performance car, with the focus firmly on preservation, reliability and originality.
Why this RX-7 is special
Finding an FD RX-7 is not particularly difficult. Finding one with low kilometres, original paint, factory wheels and suspension, extensive mechanical history, long-term single-owner care and minimal modifications is an entirely different proposition.
The Type RS manual specification, combined with its low 56,000km and unusually original condition, makes this a particularly attractive example for the serious Mazda enthusiast or collector.
This is not a car that has been built for the track or heavily modified over the years. It is an original, carefully preserved driver's car, owned by someone who has genuinely appreciated and maintained it for more than a decade.
Rarely do examples with this combination of originality, documentation, mechanical preparation and ownership history come to market.
A genuine collector-quality FD RX-7 and a rare opportunity for someone looking to secure one of the better surviving examples before these cars become even harder to find.
Serious enquiries from genuine enthusiasts and collectors welcome.
