Hey fildigger - what are the last four digits of your VIN? I have a Foxfire database that I try to keep up to date on which ones are out of commission, overseas, still running, etc.

Ok then...i have got the vehicle in my possession...the last 4 digits for the Foxfire are 1598

Hope this helps with your database buddy

So it's right hand drive right?

Yep..JDM 3.2....imported Brand new from Japan (so never registered as owned over there)

a few pics....

Only 37K miles!


Red/Black seats imported from the US (JDM Recaro's normally grey cloth)


3.2 JDM V6.

Foxfire was not a JDM color. Do me a favor and find your color code, it's stamped on the black metal plate attached to the firewall in the upper right corner of your last pic above. It should say 872, 745, 808, or 756. Tell me which one and I'll tell you your color.

[fildigger]

872 is the number stamped on the plate!!!!

have i got one that slipped through the export net to the USA (strange how it is right hand drive if that was the case?)

Don't let the Recaro leather fool you!...it was sourced by the previous owner and shipped over here from the States!

Interested to know your findings

Got me thinking .....Had to do some research..

...865 = foxfire red

..my 872 is RedRock Pearl.......so, is that one of the 175 Ltd edition JDM versions

On the Wikipedia page 872 is listed as "Leadlock Mica" but I've heard folks say that is an inaccurate translation. In any event, 872 is one of the "main" colors that JDM VX's were produced in, similar to the color palette of black, white, silver, red, green, and yellow for US models. Regardless, according to the Wiki page your VX is one of only 125 made in that color, and perhaps the only one with US-spec red/black seats.

Great stuff Mav'....nice to know i have something just that little more unique and more so here in the UK (i could be the only one!)

I had to laugh at the 'LeadLock' Mica colour !!!!!...

...If you were to put on your best Japanese comical accent and say the words 'Red Rock' it would sound like 'Lead Lock' ...not so much an inaccurate translation, more like what the English speaking guy heard when the Japanese guy told him the colour !!!
