Re: Do you see many RX8's?
I saw an amusingly numbered 8 of them today on the way to SRR and back, including a grey S1 who was filling up at the same petrol station as me and got into a nice little convoy together for about 20m down the M3. His kid in the back seat did a lot of waving...

Re: Do you see many RX8's?
The Netherlands.......
Last 6 months I was approx. 4.500 mls on the road with my HP.....
During these 6 months...total nr. of RX-8's spotted = 0 (ZERO!)
As 2nd hand, only 27 pcs offered in the local (Dutch) AutoWeek .....of which most of them are in doubtfull condition.
Overview AutoWeek:
Mazda RX-8 27 pcs
Mc Laren 25 pcs
Lamborghini 36 pcs
Aston M. 161 pcs
Maserati 241 pcs
Ferrari 315 pcs
Porsche 1.730 pcs...
They were rare once, now they are ultra-rare and are already offered as a Classic......2007, 192 hp, 18.000 mls, € 19.150,-
https://www.autoweek.nl/occasions/mazda ... eder-pare/
Google translation of the dealer:
This car is supplied in Velocity Red pearl effect, with a black leather interior. The suicide doors ensure a body without B-style and is a true eye-catcher of the RX-8. Beautiful 18 5-spoke wheels and red stitching provide a luxurious and sporty look. With extensive safety equipment, electric climate control and a good sounding audio system, long distances are also very comfortable. In this state, version and mileage a real enthusiast car with potential to increase in value!...

Re: Do you see many RX8's?
I see a lovely RX-8 at ‘Clifton Garage’ in East Calder every day. Looks a lovely car but a bit forlorn. As a lot of rexes seem to be. How can anyone not love a rex? I feel sad for it.

Re: Do you see many RX8's?
Saw a white R3 on Ipswich Road in Colchester on Wednesday while sat at a light. About 50 metres from the local Mazda dealer. Beeped my horn a couple of times and he looked around and spotted us. Thumbs up between both drivers.
