That's a Prodrive edition. Nice!
The suspension and subframe rust is easy, if you're really motivated you can clean it up easily. It's the wheel arches that get you.

Did this car sit outside for a long time?

As Loki Points out, that's a Prodrive (pz) limited edition for the uk market, They had uprated springs and dampers made by Bilstein ,sports exhaust by scorpion, special trim (mirrors,spoiler,bagdes ect) There were 800 prodrive pz's made, 480 in brilliant black, 320 in Galaxy Grey..
Join the RX8 uk owners club, plenty of info on there,free to sign up, and you'll be able to sauce parts through them, they have a few breakers that specialise just in the RX8 on the forum, it's pretty much the same as the 6 port 231 model, get it compression tested asap to see how fit the engine is before you go spending money on it.Again the UK club will be able to help, some members have there own tester which if your local to them they'll do for you, or use one of the specialists, the club have a list and can point you in the right direction.Check when it last had ignition coils, if over 25-30k you'll need some, but don't buy off ebay it's full of fakes, traders on the uk club do good prices for coils, don't skimp! The front shock gaiters are the same as the MX5 MK3 part number FS 151-34-012B from mx parts.co.uk £16.70 plus vat each.
