Finally, here she is 93 FD - still "new" 14K miles

Hello

So I finally did it and got her home this week.

Some Quick details

1993 US FD Touring Silver with red leather Interior
14300 original miles
In very near new pristine condition (she is 15 years old)
All original 100% stock except the AST I just changed for a Tri-Point unit
Still has the original tires, breaks, and exhaust all like new (but the tires are a little dry). Although rarely used she was regularly exercised and properly maintained to keep the rotary healthy.

Had her shipped to and fully checked by Dave at KDR in PA each rotor is at 112 and he gave her a "she needs nothing except for the leaking front break caliper which I had him put a new one", clean bill of health

The pic is taken with my cell phone so not the best quality. Plus it was after I just drove home and after a few months of storage so I had not washed her yet. Jst a quick shot.




I will post some new pics after a good washing and detailing.

Regards

Max

I reckon!!

When my 2001 RZ arrived from Japan with it's original 9000 mile OEM Bridgestones, they were rock hard and noisy as hell to drive on.

The tire fitter had trouble breaking the bead to get them off.

Tires have a shelf life. Get some new ones on there if you plan on driving it.

Congrats on the purchase!!

Congrats!! A few things you need to do.

1. Replace the tires.
2. Tell us how much you paid.
3. Stop calling the car "she "or "her". Its a car. It's not female!!!!

Didnt we all . To the OP, the car is beautiful. What are your plans with the vehicle? Since that is such low mileage I would keep it stock and watch the value raise in the next few years since they are getting more and more rare.
