My RX7 TII Cabriolet must find a new home this week (by 7th July) or go
to the scrapyard. Here\'s the sorry tale.
I had a white TII cab which I enjoyed for two or three years before a
dickhead on a motorbike wrote it off for me.
With the insurance money I then bought G310 DCF, a black TII cab. After
only a few months happy use, my personal and financial circumstances
changed radically. I left the car in its garage with the intention that I
would use it again once things changed for the better. That hasn\'t
happened over the three years since and I now have to vacate the
garage, so I have to let it go.
It\'s a sorry sight now, covered in dust, but underneath is a car well worth
having for someone who has the time to sort it. I hadn\'t opened the
garage door for three years, it\'s now like Miss Haversham\'s Mazda.
I bought the car soon after the previous owner had fitted a rebuilt and
uprated engine from Hurley Engineering. I don\'t know what level of
porting it had but it was considerably faster than my previous standard
car. He also had a new hood fitted. It has done less than 2000
miles on the new engine.
The car will be sold as seen and is not currently in a drivable condition.
One tyre is flat and is probably u/s, the other three may have suffered
through standing for so long. The battery will be flat and the
rotors/housings should be lubricated before attempting to start it. It has
no MOT and is SORNed. But, the last time it was used three years ago,
there was nothing wrong with it at all. I *do not* have the time to do any
of the above but will be happy to answer any questions, PM me.
Whilst money is always welcome, my priority is not to have to scrap it so
please make me an offer.
Location is ST13 5NL, North Staffordshire.

Good to hear from you.
Manual
How does £400 sound?
I\'d be happiest if it was put back on the road but if not, there\'s a good few quid\'s worth there as parts.
damn that\'s tempting :)
whats the spec of the car ??
I have 2 already .. she might kill me if I buy a 3rd one ! LOL
Only non standard, as far as I\'m aware, is the Hurley Engineering \'Sport\' rated engine. It\'s a \'street port\', noticeably more power.
It\'s black, she\'ll never notice it!
so is it stock apart from the engine ???
Im stuff thinking exhaust , cone filter , fcd , suspension etc..
Whats it like for rust underneath
Is it a UK or Jap ?
As far as I know, all standard. It passed last MOT, been in garage since. UK car - supposedly first purchased by Dawn French!
Hi Do you know any body that would deliver it to Somerset and if so how much ????

I heard this a long time ago that she owned a couple of brand new RX-7\'s so this is probably true :Thumbs-up
Any pictures of it? aside the obvious dust etc, is the body in a reasonable state? thanks
if you google the reg , I found a auction document on ebay about it .. so you could be right
Someone needs to buy this car though , I really cant have another one :(
But I cant see one scrapped either for no good reason

I\'m afraid that I don\'t - probably better to research from your end.

It was. I don\'t know how much it has deteriorated.
To those asking specific questions about the condition of the car - I don\'t know. All I do know is that it was fine when I last used it. The only way to be sure would be to get it out, clean it up, examine it, MOT it and get it running. I don\'t have the time or the money to do that.
I\'m prepared to let it go for a price which is good for breaking to spares. It would be a bonus if it were to be put back on the road, though. Either is better than the scrapyard which is what will happen if nobody takes it.
I appreciate that transporting it may be costly. Make me an offer.
whats your email mate, ....I dont mind having a play with it until it blows up then scrapping it...im coming from an FD background so have no clue about FC\'s...
id love to put it back on the road :(
your only 55 miles from me .. I reckon about 100-150 to have it shifted
I really do like the idea of playing with this car
will someone hurry up please .. I want to stop thinking about it
Hi is this still for sale? I\'m very interested can you pm your details. Just sold my RX8 and have cash

Sorry to hijack this thread,, Kev are you taking the Cosmo to Rotorstock??
im happy to add it to my collection to save it from the scrap yard aswell ;)
Ye it can\'t go the scrapyard it will be a great car with a bit of time spent on it. I\'m trying to find price for a transporter in the hope he replies...
ill start the bidding off. I\'ll give you £150 for it. Sure someone will offer you more mate. Gets the ball rolling.
Many thanks to all for your interest, car is now sold.
absolutely gutted! my mobile number is 07974145087 just in case it falls through
It won\'t be broken and will be given a good home.
did you get it Kevin?
Yep........ for my sins, the Orange cab scares the S**t out of my wife and as I\'m about to give it a respray she\'s said she won\'t drive it any more. In all honesty it\'s more likely to be me bruising it given how I drive though.
I\'ve been after something to make stock bar a bit of porting and minor mods and love the TII cab, FD\'s being a little on the small side for me.
Frank honestly no idea what I\'ll be in it\'ll be a wait and see closer to the time.
Oh ok if you change your mind let me know was looking for a summer project for me and my brother and this was perfect.
Likewise was going to bid on this
Could collect very quickly.
Thanks
