I wonder if that car is still around somewhere. That's some mad collector value if so.

But thank God it's making a comeback!

I've got that issue, too.
It took me nearly 8 years to get my FD after that, but by golly I did it!

A PDF file and more detailed images. The big article actually does not mention the FD...it talks about some cars in general. Download the images or pdf to see full detail.

It makes sense. We knew we were getting the car, and it was already on sale in Japan, so the info was already there.

The real question is who else has the FD press kit.
