1983 Mazda Rx7 | Fife

A 1983 Mazda RX-7, from the first generation of Mazda's rotary-engined sports coupé. The model is known and liked for its compact rotary engine, its rear-wheel drive and a low, light shape. The rotary also gives it a sound quite unlike the piston-engined cars of its day. This car is finished in green with a maroon interior, a warm contrast that holds up against studio light or a location backdrop. It is in excellent condition, and the cabin is a snug two-seater. It is left-hand drive: the driver sits on the kerb side, so the front passenger steps out on the road side, and the car has a continental look. Its low, wedge-like profile and pop-up headlights place it in 1980s film and TV and music video work, while the green and maroon pairing reads clearly in photography and fashion and editorial shoots. At events it gives guests a sports coupé to gather around. For a wedding or a personal hire, it makes a distinctive arrival. The car is based in Fife.
