Movie cars capture our imagination when crafted perfectly, and Han’s Veilside ‘Fortune’ Mazda RX-7 from Tokyo Drift is a standout example. Among the stellar lineup in the film—like Sean’s RB26-swapped '67 Mustang and Takashi’s menacing 350Z—Han’s RX-7 captivated audiences and enthusiasts alike.

A Brief Moment on the Market

Imagine our excitement when one of the three original RX-7s used in Tokyo Drift surfaced for sale. Priced at £345,000, it was as much an investment as a car. Unfortunately, the listing ended abruptly, quashing our budding crowdfunding dreams.

The RX-7 remained true to its roots:

No complex upgrades here—just raw, efficient Nineties engineering that’s both vibrant and nostalgic.
