Got a good history this car now :) I bought it originally from Paul-TII about 2-3 years ago, but due to some problems with my university fee\'s I had to sell it (saddest day ever :eek ). I sold it to a Japanese man who had come over here 2 years on work, who knew all about them (owned an RX7 in Japan) and said that it is such a good example (Paul\'s doing!). He also said that he would offer it me back when he leaves in 2 years time... I was optimistic and thankfully he kept his word :)
It has gone down slightly cosmetically, Paul had kept it very very clean and I had maintained that when I owned it, but the Japanese man was more interested in the cars performance than looks. Mechanically it is perfect - its only done 8k since I owned it, around 87k now (had rebuild, etc. by Paul).
I get it back on around March 15th and will more than likely have a full respray in White done to bring it back to its former glory, along with a good old clean of the engine bay. The photo\'s may look pretty damn clean, but unless you saw it when Paul/I owned it you haven\'t seen how beautiful it was - will be!
PS. Tried to PM you Paul to tell you this long story but it wouldn\'t work!
