A BIT harder? According to the DMRH homepage only 369 Series II 20B were made, compared to 3,568 Series I 20B (if I understand the distinction between Series I and II correct).

To me there is no difference between the two series. And in case there was, I would consider the first cars produced the most historic. But perhaps 3,568 isn't a small number.

BR, Bo
The series-II was 94/95. Back then, Mazda where bleeding red ink at a crazy rate. As a consequence the Cosmo upgrade was totally pitiful. Having imported around 80 into Oz. I have studied the series-Ii differences. This is what I have found

1. More emmisions programming on ECU
2. Lap sash rear belts
3. Staged power up of instrument panel
4. Window timer removed
5. Rear centre panel edges chromed instead of red-chromed.
6. Markings on window switches
7. (bolt in) internal bracing inside rear quarter panels
8. Driving light bulb colour change, yellow to white
9. Type-E dropped from line up

Those are the el-cheapo changes I have found over the years. The easiest way to tell an S-II externally is to check the centre rear panel if its red edged or chromed

Shipping is about $2000 to a major US seaport that the shipping company uses (I would have to check which ones with the actual company used at the time). From there, the costs depend on what you have to pay to clear it through customs and ship it to the final destination.
