Re: What is a NB Series 3 Classic model? Please advise the differences
Now if it were being sold in Canberra it might be Bruce-- oh dear its getting silly. Also I drive a few "classics" and that has nothing to do with official nomenclature. A classic can be many things. Its not hard to check information on cars- and Mazda has sales info etc evidenced by VIN and so it goes.

Re power decrease between series 2 and 3
This was due only to changes in the testing procedure as Mazda had been overly generous with the number for the NB8B. Dyno testing at a club event showed that there is no difference at all.

You have no right to threaten anyone with that, Bruce - that's really sick.

That car is a standard NB in 'Radiant Ebony Mica' paint. Nothing limited edition about it, but probably not too many sold.
Supreme Blue NB8B, 1:16.98 at Wakefield when stock, but it's not stock any more...

Wheels are a matter of taste. I don't mind those "split" spoke designs, or for that matter the chunky ones on the Cerrion Silver Classic.
I still think the best looking ones are on the 2001 NB8B.
This is being sold by Nathan on behalf of his Aunt who apparently ‘isn’t very good at dealing with these things’.
He’s very difficult to get hold of. I’ve been trying to arrange to look at this car since July, and Nathan just stops responding to messages. Good luck.

No, it wasn’t sold as at last Saturday. He stopped responding when I asked him when would be a good time to call (he does not answer his phone).
This is the second time he’s done this with me. Last time he apologised for not responding, said I could come on the weekend, and then did not respond when I tried to arrange a time for that weekend.
Probably has other things to do than sell his aunts car...
