Saw an interesting old RX7 ad in an old car mag today...
(http://i589.photobucket.com/albums/ss333/gsxrmovistar1/xx001.jpg)
I got my first RX7 from them back in 81, it was a new Gen 1 ser 1 that they were selling off because the ser 2 had come out, they called the colour maroon but to me it was a metallic brown, they had jazzed it up with Elford wheels which had gold centres and set the car off.................such a long time ago.
my first RX7 was a knight car, it still had knight plates on it B890 WYU i think
Their service manager was an Irish guy who used to drive a green ser 1 Elford turbo, I think it was one of the first, his name was Eamonn ? also if I\'m remember he went on to race it.
I found THIS (http://cgi.ebay.it/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160381484179&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:IT:1123).

If my facts are right this is RRU 333X, a Red Elford and the 1st Series 2 Car, registered 05/08/1981.A very reasonable bet that this car is scrapped now - in my list of scrap cars.

And you changed the Reg to MKP 490P you once said? You broke it yourself.
What colour was it Mark?

\'torna alla homepage\' I like it Davide....You could teach us Italian on this forum.
I suppose the seller has different magazines because the one shown is an Audi?

That figures exactly with the Reg date of the Elford above Dibs.

I think it\'s better the Ebay Number :Giggle 160381484179, my English is so terrible that I could translate the wrong think :p
There\'s an Audi, but in the title he had wrote
APR 1982 ELFORD MAZDA TURBO, maybe inside it\'s correct :D

Moon Roof was expensive even then. £200. I\'d had had one though....still looking.
I got mine from E and M in the early 90s for £125, and they were hard to find then.
