Ro80! Do you have anything to go with that air filter housing?

I own the car it is attached to, plus another one.

[TagoraSX]

INCOMING!

 

This will be joining the fleet sometime in June when it arrives from Japan.

 

1994 Eunos Cosmo 20B SX with 26k miles.

MONEY SHOT.

HOLY SHIT!!!!

[trigger]

Cor!

[saucedoctor]

I say!

[RayMK]

That's an elegant machine  . 

[barrett]

Bloody hell!

[Six-cylinder]

Well I have never seen one of those before!

[Spottedlaurel]

An intriguing thing. Didn't Setright or someone in the good period of Car magazine write about them?

 

Presumably shared underpinnings with the RX-7?

 

I can see some styling similarities to the 323F, especially around the roof.

[Bren]

Fit.

 

Reminds me of a BMW 840 that has been on hunger strike.

[Pillock]

Wowsers. That's gorgeous.

[Alexg]

I wasn't aware of these until a couple of weeks ago. It looks a heck of a machine, love the dash on it.

Beautiful car, pics of the dash lit up please!

The car doesn't share underpinnings with the RX-7.

 

In 1990 it was the world’s first GPS navigation system integrated into a production car. It also came with a touchscreen display "CCS - Car Communication System" which controlled the GPS, radio, climate control, phone, and even a built-in television receiver.

 

I avoided the CCS version as it doesn't work outside of Japan and by now most of the touchscreens have failed. And its in Japanese.

[TagoraSX]

I've had this for a year now and we've just got around to finishing it

 

 

 

First job was a new screen as the old one had started to delaminate.

 

Special toolz needed.

 

 

Next up was some new fuel lines. They are inside the car and had started to corrode in the drivers footwell.

 

 

 

 

 

New exhaust system.

 

[TagoraSX]

Some steering bushes needed to be replaced.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thankfully the rot on this one was minimal.

 

 

[TagoraSX]

The underside was cleaned and given the full Dinitrol treatment.

 

 

 

 

 

[Skizzer]

Wow.  Just wow.

 

Tell me you're bored now and want to sell it.  Go on, say it.  

 

 

Edit: And that Eunos Cosmo is a stunner, too, especially the dash/fascia - I missed that back in March.

[Asimo]

That is a lovely colour for an Ro80. Those stainless silencers are a thing of beauty an' all!

 

Has the Cosmo landed yet?

[TagoraSX]

 

[Mr_Bo11ox]

HOT HOT HOT

[TagoraSX]

The Cosmo has landed, here are some pictures of it being detailed.

Triple rotor?

Not much of a Mazda licker, 22b engine?

 

Do you have oil company shares?

I was thinking James Cosmo.
