It looks to me like that's a heading that was left blank.
VIN = "FD3S-200282
MODEL SPEC = "F122-110"
SPECIAL EDITION = " "

I cant think of anything that would be a RM. Please provide your chassis number and I will research for you.

From others, the special edition would have "Bathurst" for a Type R Bathurst model, for example. Its just a pre printed tag, if nothing is under the special edition there's nothing special.

I guess RM is a shorthand or abbreviation for a Type R Bathurst X. Your car was born or registered on Feb 2nd 1995, and painted in PT or Chaste White from the factory.

I found the following quote,

777 of these luxury tourers were produced in 1995. With most cars having the bathurst name since 1994, this version simply raised the spec a little more with red leather seats, a Momo steering wheel and gun metallic coloured 16" rims from the original 92 RZ. The rear wing was standard and window glass was tinted grey. A "Special X Sticker" was also added to the pillar behind the door.


And another that only mentions leather seats and not red leather seats.

The RX-7 type R Bathurst-X features including leather seats,gun metallic alloy wheels, and limited stickers.

You're welcome. I'm not 100% on the model type, still working it out but there is nothing close to a RM model. Does your car have leather, or red leather even?

Ok. That must not be it then. Maybe a Type R Bathurst (no X). It would have the standard seats. I believe the only other models available early 95 were the Type R (basically a US R1, but should say type r on door sticker), Touring X (also leather, sunroof, bose etc), RZ (bbs wheels, recaro seats), R2 (no back seat), and RS.
