Quick newbish question, when you have a rhd car over there its normal, if you were to import a lhd car from the states is it considered somethign rare and holy by the uk ricers like anything from japan is considered here? Oh and fantastic car just stop avoiding the qustion of how much it set you back lol

i was talking to some australians about that and they said that you usually have to convert it to RHD... But in some cases (living in different places) you have to have a sign that says "Caution LHD" haha


Thats what a guy at work told me

so how much did this cost around. Just an estimate. I'm guessing close to 6,000. That's in U.S. Dollars mind you.

Nice car!

Whereabouts in the UK are you? Every time I go to England, I never see RX7's of any generation! To see all the UK guys on the board makes me think I was just in the wrong place!

This will be funny - he'll post a price and 20 people from North America will write back saying he got ripped off. "I paid half that for my FC" etc. You guys will have to keep in mind 2 things - 1) There are very few FC's in England, and 2) That EVERYTHING costs more in the UK. Gas is about 3 times as expensive, houses and cars are twice as much as they are stateside. Basically, whatever it is worth in DOLLARS in the US, is what it's worth in POUNDS in the UK!

I paid a lot for this car but i think is worth it..i dont think u can really compare the price between Jspec and US ones. There is a big list of spec of my car so i think it worths every penny.

wow, that definitely is a pretty big price difference. a 91 t2 would go for, what, 4k here? maybe less if you find a good deal.

Mine was a bargain. He originally wanted 10k euro. Which is 13k $!!!
Don't ask...
lautll421 if you want to share with us how much you paid, please do.
If you do not want to, I will never ask again

Not in the UK.

And even if you could, it would probably be too new to import without hastle.
