I recently bought my first rx7 and first rotary ever,
For years I wanted to get into the elite club of owning a rota and finally got the chance when i moved to australia.
Car was advertised as a 1990 convertible.
I bought it as is to fix up and have just registered it and the QLD government is saying its a 1985 model on the reg.
Its the FC shape as it does not look like the series 3 and it has the bonnet scoop that the late 80s models have.
I Have had 1 mechanic say its a 85 with a 86 motor as it does not have the abs.
But I have looked online and wiki and other sites say the convertible was first made in 1988.
I Am getting confused and cannot find any 85 or 86 convertibles like this so im wondering if the government has got the paper work wrong.
There are other things i want to learn about them also as well as more mods and parts i want to do but first thing first i need to clear this up for my heads sake
Ty if you read this far and any help advice welcome

Convertibles began production for the '88 model year. That is very clearly a 2nd gen, and appearance wise it is an S5 ('89-'91).

Have just looked on that link u sent me and checked my vin..
Now im even more confused as its:
Vin Numbers: 100001- 200000
Would the Australian line be different with Vin numbers?

I would assume so since different markets had models and options not available elsewhere. Most information on this site is for US-market cars.

The tail lights are S4, but someone could have just swapped them.
