I used to see this car when I lived in Dunedin. The guy that owns it also owns a panelbeaters (see the rear guard - Cropper). Back in the day it used to be black with orange stripes up the middle. I have some pics I will upload when I find them (off the old aotearotor.co.nz site)

The guy also had a yellow series 4 RX-7 vert in the showroom and sometimes had it out front with a flag attached.

I had an RX-3 that needed the front guards flaring so naturally took it there to get done. I was a bit surprised when collecting the car that no one seemed to want to talk Rotaries. :|

Ah yes I remember those pics! Thanks for posting them up Kramer.

Are you an old MREC member or something?

Yeah, that was my aotearotor website and I was an mrec member. Some good guys in that club, do you know if they're still going? One of their members had a 13B turbo in a Cosmo. Pretty wild car back in the mid 1990s.
