This 1995 Mazda RX-7 Type R Bathurst with just 53,798 km was inspected for a client in September 2020.
VIN: FD3S-306062, October 1995 first registration in Japan and eligible for import under the 25 Year Rule.
Auction grade 4 B. We found the condition to be excellent for age – about as good as it gets for a 25 year old RX-7 and very difficult to find in this condition.
Very clean all round, no rust, good paintwork, clean engine bay. Even fitted with the very popular “cherry blossom” floor mats which can sell for over $1,000 per set.
Minor body damage as shown in the pics, really nothing for a car of this age.

Prices are rising very quickly on classic cars with price rises on RX-7’s of more than 30% seen at auction over the 2 months preceding the date of this example.
We can source any vehicle that’s eligible for import.
Prices are constantly changing as vehicles age and new models are released – classic cars like this one increase in value over time and near new cars typically depreciate in Japan at a rate of 10 to 15% per year for the first few years.
So for the most up to date pricing please get in touch with us for a current market price on the specification you want.
We only source the best vehicles with clean and tidy interiors, and only vehicles we would be pleased to own ourselves. This is why we are constantly told by clients that the vehicles we source are well above the condition of most others on the local market.
The pictures are typical of the information we provide prior to auction for each vehicle of interest, with any faults shown so you can clearly see the condition before we discuss whether to bid, and your budget.
Whether you’re looking for a low km 1995 Mazda RX-7 Type R Bathurst like this, or another year, make or model, we can find it for you in nice condition and at the best possible price.
It is vital when sourcing your vehicle to use an agent that takes the time to physically check each vehicle and looks beyond the auction pictures and report to confirm condition. Some vehicles may have an unpleasant smoke or other odour, rust underneath, or other faults which are impossible to know without inspection.

Regarding the car.. well, what can I say.. I absolutely love it !
Styling.. The Skyline looks better in real life than any picture can show. All the curves are in the right places and that rear end is just a work of art. On top of everything, it’s just all class. I am loving all the attention I am getting. Turning heads on the street, people staring so long they don’t realise the lights have turned green, I even had someone stop at the lights then reverse to get a another look ! So many people have stopped me to ask what it is. No one can believe its “just” a Nissan.
Drive.. It’s right up there with the BMWs, Mercedes, Audis, Lexus etc. – just with more power. The ride is so smooth and quiet. Both my partner and our dog fall asleep on every drive. It is a very civilised car with power and gear change delivering with the most manners possible.
The import experience has been great (aside from the waiting). I have to thank you for being so helpful. I am very glad I finally took the leap after being on your mailing list so long. I have no hesitation about recommending your service – which is what I have been doing since. I also want to thank you for recommending the compliance workshop as they have been absolutely fantastic. Not only do they make the whole compliance experience a treat, they have done a spectacular job on the car. Recommending these guys really boosts your own reputation in this business.
I have been hearing quite a lot of horror stories about importing and compliance of late. This just makes me appreciate the service you have provided even more.
So once again, thank you. I have attached some pics of the car taken at the Great Ocean Road on the first weekend.
