Han’s bright orange Mazda RX-7 from The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift is one of the most recognizable movie cars of the 2000s. It didn’t get the most screen time, but between its wild Veilside body kit, deep-dish chrome wheels, and unforgettable color combo, it left a lasting impression. Now, that exact car is heading to auction at Bonhams Cars this Saturday, July 11. It’s road legal, has a valid MoT, and is ready for a new home.
From the Big Screen to the Real World



Before filming began, Universal sent a stock FD RX-7 to Veilside, the Japanese tuning house known for its bold designs. Founder Hironao Yokomaku and his crew gave it the full “Fortune” widebody treatment, retaining only the roof and hatch from the original car. The kit added more than 200 mm (7.87 inches) of width, while the 19-inch Andrew Premier Series Racing Evolution 5 wheels gave it even more flair. Surprisingly, this particular example wasn’t used for drifting, but rather close-ups and static shots. Only two Veilside RX-7s from the film are known to have survived. Finished in pearlescent orange with glossy black accents, the car remains identical to its on-screen appearance. Its original Universal production markings are still visible too, including "#71 HANS" labels and scuff marks from camera mounts. Despite being a screen-used vehicle, it held up incredibly well and jas just 66,785 miles on the clock.
Not Just a Show Pony



We know rotary engines can be pretty finicky to maintain, especially when they're modified to oblivion. Fortunately, this isn't the case with the Fast and Furious RX-7. Renowned tuner RE-Amemiya rebuilt its turbocharged twin-rotor engine and kept its power close to the factory 276-hp rating. Apart from the engine, it received quite a list of upgrades, including a Blitz Nur-Spec exhaust, upgraded brakes, coilovers, and a new clutch. Inside, Veilside racing seats were added, a full Alpine sound system, and a non-functional NOS bottle. All in all, it weighs just over 1,050 kg (2,315 lbs) — about 200 kg (441 lbs) lighter than a standard RX-7. According to the listing, this example has been with the same UK owner since 2008, has only been driven in dry weather, and was recently inspected by Hayward Rotaries to make sure it's mechanically sound.
Your Shot At A Piece Of Movie History



To some, this RX-7 is just an obnoxiously modified Mazda that goes brap-brap. But to us car nuts, it’s one of the most important cars to star on the big screen. Whether you're after an investment piece or an avid Fast & Furious connoisseur, this black and orange Japanese sports car will catch your attention. Bonhams estimates the Veilside RX-7 will fetch between £250,000 and £350,000 ($339,655 and $475,517).
