Attention, automotive enthusiasts and collectors! A rare opportunity has emerged in the realm of the JDM world, a 2002 Mazda RX-7 is up for grabs, and it’s not just any RX-7, this is a Spirit R Type A! This beauty listed by A1 RX7 FD’S comes with a price tag of $198,000 AUD ($129,000 USD), and let me tell you, it’s worth every penny. They’re also willing to put down $45,000 AUD ($29,000 USD) on taxes.

First things first, let’s talk numbers. This RX-7 Spirit R Type A has only clocked 44,000 kilometers on its odometer. That’s right, a pristine example with relatively low mileage. But that’s not all. What truly sets this RX-7 apart is its unique history and provenance.

Included with the car is a black book that holds a piece of automotive history within its pages. Why? Because it has been personally signed by none other than the RX-7 program manager, Takao Kijima, and the production line workers in Japan back in 2002. Imagine owning a piece of memorabilia that connects you directly to the craftsmanship and dedication behind the creation of this iconic vehicle.

Now, let’s dive into what makes the RX-7 Spirit R Type A such a rare find. This isn’t your average sports car; it’s a limited edition, final farewell to an automotive legend. Here’s why it’s so special:

1. Exclusivity: The RX-7 Spirit R Type A was produced in limited numbers 1,504 to be exact, marking the culmination of Mazda’s RX-7 legacy. Its scarcity adds to its allure, making it a highly sought-after collector’s item. The Type A which is the best one of the three made up 1,044 of those 1,504 models.

2. Performance: Equipped with a refined 1.3-liter twin-rotor Wankel rotary engine, the Spirit R Type A offers exhilarating performance that’s synonymous with the RX-7 name pushing around 280hp / 232lb-tq which is roughly 20 more in each category then the base models. Its handling prowess and driving dynamics are second to none, providing an unparalleled driving experience, the Kevlar-backed Recaro bucket seats (saves about 10kg), comes with forged 17-inch BBS alloys, cross-drilled brake discs and an upgraded Bilstein suspension.

3. Heritage: Each RX-7 Spirit R Type A carries with it a rich heritage that spans generations of automotive enthusiasts. From its sleek design to its unmistakable rotary engine soundtrack, the Spirit R Type A embodies the spirit of Mazda’s dedication to innovation and performance. It also marks the final hurrah of the RX-7 as it set sail into the sunset.

4. Personal Touch: The fact that this particular RX-7 comes with a black book signed by the program manager and production line workers adds an intimate touch to its history. It’s a testament to the passion and craftsmanship that went into creating each and every RX-7.

The 2002 Mazda RX-7 Spirit R Type A is more than just a car it’s a piece of automotive history. With its combination of rarity, performance, and unique provenance, it’s a must-have for any serious collector or enthusiast. So, if you’re in the market for a truly special sports car, don’t hesitate to seize this opportunity. Who knows when you’ll come across another RX-7 Spirit R Type A at this price as the U.S. 25-year restriction is coming up for this vehicle.
