Mazda RX-7 Type R Bathurst (2002) - factory stock

Low mileage and awesome condition bone-stock 2002 Mazda RX7 (FD3S) Type R Bathurst.

2002 is the last and latest model year for RX7s to be produced, and outside of the Spirit Type-R, arguably one of the most wanted.

I purchased this car in May 2023 and have spent the last couple of years fettling and improving it to be as close to factory fresh as I can. When purchased the clear coat had been peeling, so I decided to opt for a full bare-metal respray to get the paint back to how it should be.

Most importantly, the car is absolutely stock both mechanically and visually. I have spent a lot of time, research and money on sourcing any of the bits and pieces that tend to go missing over the years. So this is now 100% showroom spec, including OE radio, spare wheel cover, toolkit, jack, and all interior parts that usually break.

The engine is also stock, and is impressively strong. Compression was tested a couple of months ago at 107-108-108 and 106-104-103 at 251 RPM. Fully serviced recently with new NGK plugs and OE Mazda oil filter. From the documentation I have, it's never been mechanically modified, just maintained regularly (large service document pack included). The underneath is very clean and almost rust-free.

Fresh MOT just completed (02/05/2025) - with one advisory regarding wear on the rear brake pads.

The car was imported in 2016 at 89654 km (55708 miles) and it is now on 59384 miles.

The only negative mark is that I haven't changed the tyres from when purchased. They are however in great condition with lots of tread, but on old compound.

This is one of those rare occasions where an unmodifed RX7 hits the market and has had most, if not all, of the minor glitches fixed with original equipment sourced from Japan and directly from Mazda in the UK. I can't say it's concours condition, but it is one of the finest FDs on the market today.

I am based near Dorchester, Dorset.
