Description

Type R Bathurst (Twin Turbo) 5 Speed Manual model. Fitted with a Mazda Speed Aero Type II front nose, full Border Type 2 side skirts, Pan Speed bonnet and original Fujita Engineering rear difuser, as well as an unidentified specialist rear spoiler, the overall effect on this car has created a far improved and tasteful improvement in looks. Wheels are original BBS Le Mans special edition of 18" size, with 4 high performance tyres of size 225/40/ZR18 & 265/35/ZR18. Fitted is a twin Apexi induction kit - oil impregnated mesh, the best filters available from Japan. Inside, a Veilside leather steering wheel has replaced the standard item. Pivot digital temperature gauge. Original equipment includes twin oil coolers, keeping oil within the optimum operating temperature, sports seats, rear seats, ABS, fitted mats. The original tool kit is complete and unused. Note: no optional spark plug tool is included. Also fitted is the factory front strut brace along with an after market aluminium rear strut brace, a factory option rear parcel shelf is also fitted. Silver is extremely rare on body-kitted RX-7s - but in this case, combined with the BBS LM's it's created a stunning combination! Total cost of wheels, tyres, exhaust, suspension & aero parts in Japan totals 7800GBP. WGT Motors the specialist rotary garage of the North looked after the car for almost the entirety of it's time here in the UK and fans of the show will know that they were consulted and featured in the episode of Wheeler Dealers. The work completed on the show included: uprated radiator and intercooler kit v-mounted. Faulty aircon assembly removed and battery relocation to the boot to make space for the uprated radiator/intercooler and for improved weight distribution. New ECU installed, engine remapped from 247 bhp to 296bhp by now retired rotary engine expert Pip Gardner. A'PEXi turbo timer fitted. The original BBS alloy wheels were repainted in orange with snake skin water transfer pattern; spoiler and side mirror covers also decorated with snake skin pattern. Added matching "snake skin fade spots" vinyl decals to the body. The engine rebuild was done at 75000 miles. Garage parked to keep it safe from the elements. If the owner doesn't like the vinyl decals, they can be removed. A copy of the show will be included for the buyer to keep including exclusive memorabilia sections of the script found in the glove comparment. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of TV history., Next MOT due 20/06/20 Next MOT due 20/06/2025, Silver, £37,995
