Yeh but what about the fins? They are taking that classic Rx-7 design and reducing to another boxy roadster.

This car has never been painted this is an '84 only Colour R7 Percimon

The colour changes with the avalable light (though it is not an inridesent paint)

The car goes form bright orange to a deep almost burnt red colour depending on the ambaint light.

I love it

That's a real nice color Anthrax, even better than the light beige for a 1st gen! Very pretty. I have a persimmon 78 MGB, but it's more orange than your 7. What's the interior like, do you have more photos of that car somewhere?

Thanks Rey!

I have pictures posted in my VB Garage of the interior and other pitures of the exterior.

The interior is Brown, and in Mint Condition.

Burnt Orange

I had an orange car but I put it in the oven for a little too long and it turned out becoming brown!

Sorry couldn't resist!

I thought this one was pretty neat. It's not quite as good looking as ApG Spaz's though.
