Only 629 RX-8 R3's Left !!
Good grief I have just found out there are only 705 RX-8 R3's left from the 2015 Register
That means 21 R3's have been lost forever between 2014 to 2015
Will Revise our List on here

Goes to show the quality of the r3
Can't believe they're getting so rare. Going to be really hard to find soon.

Surprised more owners haven't joined, I wonder how many the advice on here could have saved.

Re: Only 705 RX-8 R3's Left !!
It does seem odd that most RX8 owners don't join the club given the wealth of advice and knowledge given mostly freely on here.
Might explain why there are still so many ending up scrapped.

Re: Only 705 RX-8 R3's Left !!
1 year on there's now 678 left on the road (+41 rotting or wrapped up in a garage somewhere) according to https://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/vehicle/mazda_rx8_r3
Slightly more stable numbers for the R3 than 8's as a whole though... https://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/family/mazda_rx8
And I see that scrappy is still advertising that R3 (plus a white one) for parts!

Re: Only 705 RX-8 R3's Left !!
As the numbers went down from 726 to 722 (licensed) and 27 to 22 (SORN) that implies there either aren't any R3's in NI, or at least not as many as were written-off on the mainland in 3 monthsCovers United Kingdom excluding Northern Ireland up to 2014 Q3. Includes Northern Ireland from 2014 Q4
For the total RX-8 range it's not much better...

You'd expect numbers to be more stable. They're anything up to 7 years younger.Ainmhidh wrote:1 year on there's now 678 left on the road (+41 rotting or wrapped up in a garage somewhere) according to https://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/vehicle/mazda_rx8_r3

Re: Only 705 RX-8 R3's Left !!
Makes you think,twenty years from now what's going to be left on the roads in terms of rotaries? There will always be rotaries about because of enthusiasts and specialists but in terms of sheer numbers they could be few and far between.I rarely see one when I'm out driving,in fact when I do it's a case of " Christ there's an 8!! " and as far as 7's go well they are as rare as hens teeth on the roads over here ( at least in terms of them being used regularly)

A diesel in an RX8 kindof misses the point doesn't it!
Although looking at the ever growing pile of petrol receipts I understand where it's coming from....
