Rare as rocking horse poo for a genuine unmolested UK one though, and much more potent than its sucessor, the RX8. 
Most have been "fast and furified" and ruined, like many a Impreza, shame.

more piccies of the crash...
this is the first car the Mazda hit (John says its a Toyota Avensis)
The Avensis was pushed into the Corolla behind it
The Mazda then spun round and the back of it hit the side of the Corolla
The force of the first impact pushed the Corolla into the 56 plate Astra behind it hard enough to push the Astra up onto the kerb
the Mazda spun again with the front of it coming to rest in the side of our Granny
drivers door
rear passenger door
the aftermath this morning (all cars gone from scene now, including our Granny)

I am no expert in crash accidents but modern cars are designed to absorb impacts, But to trash 4 cars at 30mph, think about it, there is no way the energy is translated through that amount of cars,
p.s. I thought the granada stood up well to the imapact, suffice to say where the developlment? (I know it was the last car to be hit!)
p.p.s. I know what it feels like to have a classic damaged, it was obviously well looked after.

we have now sold the Granada - to someone with spares who can fix it... she lives to fight another day and hopefully take out a few more Mazdas!!
as we only lost about £20 we're not gonna bother with insurance as we know the Granny would have been written off.
