HIGHLIGHTS:
Highly sought after among classic Japanese enthusiasts, the Series 1 Mazda RX-7 stands as a defining icon of rotary-engine performance. Lightweight, driver-focused and unmistakably analogue, the early RX-7 delivers a pure and engaging experience that has made well-preserved examples increasingly rare and collectible today.
Presented here is an exceptionally rare S1 RX-7 Special Edition, believed to be the only unit of its kind in the country and preserved in highly original condition. Showing just 43,002 km on the odometer, this example retains its original engine setup from airbox to tailpipe, along with factory radiator and wheels. It is equipped with the desirable GS package, featuring an upgraded rear anti-roll bar and the rare 5-speed manual transmission, along with a sunroof. Recently serviced with brakes bled, the car is reported to be running well, reflecting careful ownership and preservation.
From our observation, the car presents strongly overall with a solid body and good exterior condition finished in Aurora White. Minor age-related imperfections such as slight stone chips may be present. The interior remains largely original and well kept, with minimal wear noted—primarily on the steering wheel, a slight crack on the gear knob and worn passenger door release trim. The air conditioning is not cold and the rear boot damper requires replacement. Mechanically, the car drives well with stable engine operation and good overall performance, though minor age-related traits such as possible oil seepage and a slight noise from the front control arm are noted, consistent with a classic of this era.
Choosing a vehicle through JTCars provides an added layer of confidence, as each listing is carefully verified to ensure authenticity and transparency.
