2006 Copper Red Shinka, 52,000 Kms: $18,000 (Include brand new tires and spark plugs)
 

Relocation to the UK is forcing me to put my 06 Shinka on the market.

2006 Copper Red, under 52,000 kms: $18,000

• Include 2 brand new OEM tires (Front set have less than 5000km on them. New Rears haven't yet been installed)
• Include 4 brand new OEM spark plugs (yet to be installed)
• Include transferrable rustproofing warranty
• All recalls have been done
• No damage, dents or scratches, There are however a few stone chips on the hood

The car is currently in storage in Welland, ON (Niagara Region).

Will be putting it on trader at the end of the month. I'd like to offer it up to club members before that.

Also.. any suggestions on what cars i should look into in the UK?
So far, the only car i've driven there (that isn't available in Canada) is the Civic Type R hatch.. and it leaves much to be desired compared to the RX-8.

Great ride for a great price!! If only this was for sale a year ago!! but good luck with it, and sorry to hear that you'll have to part with such a fun car!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't there only 300 Copper Red Mica RX-8s sold in the world? Statistical probability would suggest there are maybe 3-5 in Ontario. (3 represented in this thread) BTW: This colour gets a surprising number of unsolicited comments, head turns, etc. :) (I never thought it happened the way it does)

That would be the estimate, seeing as there were roughly 1200 total shinka's made in 2006 in 4 different colors if divided equally it would come out to 300 each color.

But Copper Red was the true Shinka of 2006 (that color only came out that year) with the red leather stitching to match the copper red.

All other colors have continued on but not in the Shinka package. I think the other three colors were black, white, gray.

Good lock with sale.:fingersx:

What car should you be looking at for the UK? Easy. Caterham.

(IMO the inspiration for the RX-8 styling)

There's a lot more than just 3-5 in Ontario, I know of at least 5 Copper Red Shinka's in ontario alone that are on this forum, and have seen many more around the streets that aren't on the forums.

lol stat's are wrong... there were something like 1500 made. Check out my pics of the Mosport RX8 mazda track day from 2007 if you want to see Copper Red
