This is a rare collectors model in 1:43 scale by Ebbro of Japan, brand new in original packaging, Ebbro item number 43707.

The only Mazda competing in the Japan GT Championship for 2004 was this RX7, entered by Re Amemiya Racing. Running the 20B three rotor Wankel rotary engine, the Amemiya RX7 produces around 310 bhp and drives through a Hewland six speed. The car was driven by Shinichi Yamaji and Hiroyuki Iiri, and they had a good season with wins at both Sepang and Autopolis, leaving them in fourth position for the team's championship for 2004.

This model features accurate American Racing cast alloy wheels with Yokohama Advan race tyres and amazing brake detail with not only the ventilated brake discs represented, but also the AP Racing brake calipers (they even have the brand name printed on them just like the real article!). The Mazda's body is nicely modelled and finished in authentic colours that capture the shape and stance of the original car perfectly. Other features include finely moulded window frames, windscreen wipers, external rear view mirrors, rear spoiler, tow points, radio aerial and all correct external race logos and badges.

The interior is also very well done, with steering wheel, detailed dashboard and instrument panel with all controls and other features shown, rear view mirror, centre console with gearshift lever, Bride race seat and Sabelt race harness, roll cage, fire extinguisher, plus many other race related details.

Ebbro models are amongst the finest 1:43 scale models of their type available. Detail and finish are absolutely top class and second to none in this price range. All are limited editions, this item particularly rare being one of only 3000 pieces originally produced for worldwide distribution. This item is brand new in original unmarked packaging.
