What moves the price on this model
Condition, history, originality, ownership, delivery and modification multipliers apply to every car in the library. They are applied automatically when an advertisement is analysed, and the schedule is set out once, on the analyser page.
Projected value in five years
The case for and against
The defining Japanese sports car of its decade in its most usable form, and one of very few cars in this library that appears at Australian auction regularly enough to price. Roughly 900 came here and an estimated 380 survive, with attrition running high through rotary failure, modification and export.
Running costs are 12.5 per cent of value a year, among the highest in this library, and a rotary rebuild at $12,000 to $18,000 should be treated as a when rather than an if. Nine in ten cars are modified and original unmolested examples are genuinely scarce. The twenty-five-year import rule continues to pull Australian cars to the United States, which supports prices but thins the local pool in ways that could reverse.

Similar cars, and what they cost to run
They fit at minus 0.400 with 2.7 per cent per 10,000 kilometres and return about $55,000 at the 40,000 this record expects. The value moves to $55,000.

$60,000 at 100,668km against $30,000 at 91,463km - two cars within 10,000 kilometres of each other and double the money. On an FD, condition, originality of the sequential twin-turbo system and the state of the interior explain far more than distance, which is why the correlation is only minus 0.400 while the Toyota MR2 elsewhere in this library fits at minus 0.974.
$59,500 at 25,543km in Glenroy, Victoria in July and $45,000 at 120,400km in Wollert in August.
It closed on 14 August 2026, fully standard with the sequential twin-turbo system intact, which is the specification this entry describes rather than a converted car. At 120,400 kilometres against the 40,000 expected here, 2.7 per cent per 10,000 returns about $43,100 off the $55,000 base. It made $45,000. The fit was 4.3 per cent low on the only car in this library it could be checked against, and that is worth more to this record than the value it produced. SOURCING: aggregator-surfaced results, unconfirmed against the auction house, the weakest evidence grade here.
The library previously held only the Spirit R Type A - the final Series 8 special, 1,504 built, valued at $140,000 - and a Series 6 lot found no match at all. That is the ordinary FD, the one people mean when they say RX-7, and it is a different and far cheaper car. Australia took roughly 900 FDs officially between 1992 and 1995, against 1,504 Spirit Rs worldwide of which very few came here. Treating the two as one would have priced a $70,000 car at $140,000.
Thin. A 1995 Series 6 was live on Collecting Cars at $35,000 with time remaining in August 2026, which is a running bid rather than a result and is recorded as an observation only. The Spirit R entry carries four Shannons sales between $73,000 and $160,000, and those price the special, not this car.
Gives eighteen Australian FD results averaging $69,856 across a $31,500 to $135,500 range, which spans all three series and both specifications - the top of that range is Spirit R money and the bottom is a project car.
Series 6 cars are the earliest and generally the cheapest, but they are also the ones eligible for import into the United States under the twenty-five-year rule, which has drawn Australian cars offshore since 2017 and is the single largest influence on this market.
A Series 6 made $45,000 on Collecting Cars in Wollert, Victoria, verified, against the $72,000 carried here. One sale does not reset a market, and this library has spent enough time on condition and kilometre spreads to know a single result can sit anywhere in a range. But the honest reading is that the value above it was set from Spirit R and Series 8 evidence and a thin local record for the earlier car, and the first time an ordinary Series 6 actually changed hands in public it went for well under. This value is under review rather than defended.
