Grey
To commemorate 40 years of their rotary engine, Mazda produced the RX-8 '40th Anniversary' model finished in metallic Metropolitan Grey and includes exclusive black genuine leather and light silver Alcantara seats, black leather-wrapped steering wheel, gear shift and hand brake (with grey stitching).
Designed as a front mid-engine, rear-wheel drive four-door, four-seater quad coupe with the "freestyle" rear suicide doors, the 1.3 litre high revving rotary engine producing over 200bhp (when new) and with near 50/50 weight distribution to give the car great driving dynamics and handling.
This RX-8 was subject to a full "Gold engine rebuild" in 2016 at 86,347 miles by Rotary Revs who are the UK's premier RX-8 specialists.
Buyer's Premium of 12% inclusive of VAT @ 20%
Power steering heavy. No advisories on last MOT. Power steering is heavy and is something that would need looking at (electrical power steering). It has not had a compression test since the engine rebuild at Rotary Revs.
