For sale here is a really special example of RX-8 R3.
Below a bit of car history and spec.:

- 2010 model, late August 2010 build date
- Full Mazda History up until 2019, then serviced by RX-8 club member and RX-8 specialist dealer - Enjoyable Cars) religiously every 6 months or so with oil and filter changes, then by new owner for a year, and then by myself.
