I was at the NEC Classic car show at the weekend and set my eyes on a mazda RX4 coupe, sometimes called a 929 coupe. Does anyone know any for sale or where I would find one as they are a beautiful car ? Thanks a lot

Looks like you're after a LA2/LA3 Luce Coupe. The RX4 is rotary-powered and the 929 is the conventional petrol engined version.

You've got no chance. There are four left "intact" in the UK and only three actually run. Two more in pieces that we know of. Honestly, you'd have a better chance of finding a unicorn juggling rainbows But for the RR happiness vibe, have some photos... Fifty percent of the running RX-4s in the UK: The yellow one is the one you saw at the NEC, owned by Clive, president of the Mazda Rotary Club. The flip-painted one is Ralph, owned by jojo of this parish ....and that's another 25% of the working UK RX-4s... Terri's race-prepped one as owned previously by her dad Seriously as to getting hold of one, your only hope is to import one either from Australia (where they are at least RHD but unfortunately the Aussies know well what they're worth and it won't be cheap) or the USA (where the steering wheel's on the worng side but you stand a better chance of findng a cheap(er) one... although it's probably been sat out rotting in BillyBob's private morass for twenty years). Let us know how you get on, lol

Balby motors in Doncaster have a 929 estate that's complete and sitting in the workshop, he probably wants a lot for it mind. Pics are on the abandoned thread somewhere.
