Had a guant down to carls today to collect my RX4.
Carl seems to think its the only one in UK thats was standard with 13b 5 speed box. Needs some TLC, a project for later. Some piccys before she goes away for winter.
Why cant i see the pictures? :confused:
Cheers scott
\'Cause none are attached!
made the file sizes smaller
Trailer is also for sale.
I\'ll post post piccys of trailer tomorrow £1200
oooooooh now thats nice, It looks very muscle car with those white graphics. Thats quite a few Rx4\'s coming out the woodwork now (ermm well 3, but thats quite a few for the UK I suppose)
WOW ! Are those stripes standard? The ones along the bottom of the door look very similar to an RX-2 model we got in South Africa, designated "Capella RS"
That looks fantastic Gary, interesting project. :)
Nice Gary :)

Strips and paint work I think are original.

Would like to find out more about her, if she is that rare then I think she will have to stay stock, or maybe stock apart fron the engine, maybe a bridgeport sleeper.
It does look very nice gary, i was there when you trailored her away, Carl did have a tear in his eye. i felt like giving him a hug. Nice to see that i went into good hands. Hope to see it again when finished :yes
Nice looking car mate. Liking the white strips along the side too.
Were these cars never sold in this country then?

Put them to bed now, so a few last shots of my gaggle of rx\'s going into hibination.

G11ary you could turn it into something like this if it isnt rare as rocking horse poo....... :cool. The performer wheels suit the RX4 so well I reckon.

looks the nutts...........
Lots to think about.
Are there any resorces for tracking down models, of Rx\'s. Would like to find out official specs etc.
Cool car.
Must say the 4 is really growing on me. Had a good look round Clive\'s white stunner at the last Dartford meet and they really do look good. Standard or all blinged out. Sleeper or muscle car. Very nice.
Wouldn\'t mind a nosey at it next time I\'m fixing you \'puters Gary!
Thats one one good looking car bro...lil bridge....some rubber under her...good exhaust...AND WE ARE ROCKING.... :cool

From the looks of it - it is a Series 2 RX-4 (around 1975 I think). If you want to know more about the model, the chassis number will tell you more.
Leave her standard! there aren\'t many original condition ones around the world!
Good links on //www.ausrotary.com - search for rx4 and original, etc. etc.

come on then Carl spill the beans, when I collected it from you I thought you had told me all. Give us all the low down.
wot sorta price are u talkin for the old skool rx\'s? that 4 is gorgeous!
Quote from: g11arycome on then Carl spill the beans, when I collected it from you I thought you had told me all. Give us all the low down.
Well I did tell you..........LOL!
It is a reasonably rare 5 speed 13b RX4 with the early front nose and ornate rear.Most of the models with the fancy body work were 12a\'s,the 13b did not stay in this form for long but ended very plain and boring with a slab front and rear.
This model car was the very first to have the 13b engine and the 5 speed box by Mazda.Basically the engines dimensions and rotor width,radius,eccentricty are all the same as the current RX8 engine.
Regards
Carl
