Chris Harris Talks About 'His' Battered Mazda RX-7
As we’ve already discussed, the most recent Top Gear episode was - for the most part - a triumph. But the real star of the show was arguably a yellow Mazda RX-7, bought by Chris Harris (well, the BBC, technically) at a Japanese car auction.
This new video from TG’s YouTube channel provides a closer look at the car, plus insight from Harris about the fascinating buying process, where “15,000 - 20,000 cars are auctioned every session.” Plus, the man talks about two JDM legends - the Honda NSX Type R and the Mitsubishi Evo VI Tommi Makinen Edition.
We also get a closer look at the damage sustained during the conjoined drifting effort on Ebisu, which is…not pretty. Anyone fancying buying it from the BBC and fixing it up…?
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Thats the classic Top Gear procedure. Buy an awesome car for little money… And wreck it.
True that… Although those 90s Japanese sports cars in Japan are just like Muscle cars here in the States.
