Overview

The Mazda RX-7 FD3S remains one of the most iconic Japanese sports cars ever produced, and this 2000 Mazda RX-7 Type RB finished in Blue with Black interior perfectly captures why enthusiasts around the world still obsess over rotary power. Showing just 75,892km (47,157 miles) and graded Auction Grade 4 with B Interior, this is exactly the type of genuine Japanese market RX-7 buyers search for when importing directly from Japan.

Unlike heavily abused or poorly modified examples often found elsewhere, Japanese auction cars like this RX-7 Type RB tend to benefit from better roads, lower mileage and careful ownership. This example also comes with tasteful upgrades already fitted and minor cosmetic imperfections clearly declared on the auction sheet, allowing buyers to import with total confidence.

At Autoselecta, we believe complete transparency matters. We are the UK’s leading website for importing cars from Japan and buying directly from Japanese auctions and dealerships. We are also one of the only import platforms showing buyers all fees, taxes, shipping costs and even previous sold prices directly on the platform before bidding. No hidden costs, no inflated dealer markups and no nasty surprises once the vehicle lands in the UK.

Autoselecta was built entirely in favour of the buyer. Our job is to protect buyers, translate everything correctly, explain all positives and negatives honestly and help customers avoid the horror stories often associated with importing vehicles from Japan. We believe importing should be exciting, transparent and stress free from start to finish.

Why The Mazda RX-7 FD3S Still Matters

The FD RX-7 is widely regarded as one of the greatest Japanese sports cars ever built. Lightweight, beautifully balanced and powered by Mazda’s legendary twin-rotor turbocharged rotary engine, the RX-7 became a hero car throughout the 1990s tuning scene and motorsport culture.

Even today, few cars deliver the same sensation behind the wheel. The steering is razor sharp, the chassis feels alive and the compact rotary engine keeps weight incredibly low and central. The result is a car that feels far more exotic than its price tag suggests.

The RX-7 Type RB sits in a very sweet spot within the FD range. It offers the aero styling upgrades and performance the FD is famous for while remaining more usable and affordable than ultra-rare Spirit R models. Buyers looking for an authentic FD ownership experience often favour the Type RB because it delivers everything people love about the RX-7 without entering six-figure collector territory.

As prices continue rising globally for clean FD RX-7s, importing directly from Japan still represents one of the best opportunities to secure a genuine example before values climb even further.
