Ok guys in the know can you please shed some light on the following subject. How many sky blue bt1's were released factory 5spd (mx7) and turbo. What state are they from. And i need pictures asap. I am doing a full ground up resto and need some inspiration coz i know its gonna be a long road ahead. As said pictures would be great!

I thought the only light blue BT1's were 5 Litre V8's? They were only released in SA Here's a pic anyway, its a 5 litre that was for sale on here a while ago Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Whoa its BT1 night tonight. Too many BT1's were produced to get an accurate number, plus I didn’t know there were BT1 turbo's in Morning Lake. Have you got one, or are you making a reproduction?

so basically this thing is rare as fcuk and it is something that should be left 110% original and garaged. Basically its the same as a yellow xhwy. Drop tank LSD MX7 and turbo just light blue. Yelow747 is ur mates manual?

Have you checked your paint code to see if its original light blue as it could maybe be another color an painted at some stage.
