When we lived in England and I was in high school, my Dad bought a right hand drive, 1979 Mazda RX-7 Savanna. It had been imported directly from Japan by my friend's father and was the only one ('79 model year) in the U.K. at the time.
Here is a link with info about that car (our car looked exactly like this):

It was so cool! I loved how the side view mirrors were mounted above the front wheel fenders, instead of on the doors.
Anyways, my Dad ended up bringing this car to the U.S. where he gave it to my sister, who drove it during her college years at SCAD in Savannah. Ultimately, it was sold to my cousin who lived in Canada and after a few years (we're now well into the early 90s) he sold it. After that, I lost track of it. But it was so cool!
