Spotted a Mazda RX-8 today, can't remember the last time I saw one.

Haven't seen one in a very long time. Given the tax (£800/year) and consumption (barely over 20mpg, IIRC?) and they're now 20 years old, I was surprised to see quite a few fetch over £10k - or at least, are advertised at.

Saw a DeLorean being driven through town with the left door fully open! Gullwing doors certainly make something seem special

That does seem steep. The one I saw was on a 03 (or maybe 53) plate, and was not looking like someone's pride and joy. Very cheap daily look about it.

The R3s seem to have a decent following and are worth money, but the earlier ones are either knackered spares or repair, worthless autos or cheap.

I can't remember when I last saw one either. I always thought it fell between two roles. It wasn't special enough to be a treasured car and it wasn't robust enough to be a daily.

I still love the design and the doors.
