As per the title my 99 sepc trype r is for sale, was bought from Martin Sppedline Imports in June 2011. have done approx 1000 since then. Reco turbos have just been fitted with no cracks on the manifold. 12 months mot and tax, I do not have the original advert on here it appears to be deleted, but it has coilover suspension, and aftermarket back box, as well as Mazdaspeed seats and a short shifter. Bodywork wise could ideally do with respraying, gearbox is a little noisy but works fine. It has approx 58,000 miles on the clock. When purchased from Speedline it was advertised as having an engine with 10,000 miles from rebuild installed on this car, so with my additional mileage it should have approx 11,000 on it now. Welcome any questions etc. I am contactable on 07590 539 624 or briscodael@btinternet.com
P.S
I will be bowing out of the rx7 seen which I have been a part of since approx 1997. I have met and made some good friends through this forum and fduk over the years and in general have had a good laugh on these forums and at the various meets. Rxmotors nicknamed me brian 10 second ellis due to my inability to hit 10 sec 1/4 mile but i did have fun trying 11.3 @132 mph :-) I will start a seperate thread for a list of parts for sale also. For the first time in years I\'m going to be able to access my shed with stepping over rx7 parts. So Long.

Beautiful and so clean. GLWTS Brian.
It would prob be a good idea to get some up-to-date pics on the for sale thread, as those seats certainly aren\'t MazdaSpeed?! :/
I couldn\'t see a price, unless I\'m being blind?
Look forward to the parts for sale thread too :)
Sad to see you\'re leaving though.

Yep right price if you include it could do with a blow over. Actually the merc does 62mph in 6.7 seconds and is quicker than the 3 litre petrol. So dis it or may have to meet you down the mad mile lol.

Hmmm yeah I will give you a race in my Vito Van down the mad mile haha
I will link your advert on FDUK for ya Brian, it will sell pronto!!!
Jesus! That\'s cheap! Wish this was around when I brought mine! I\'d be surprised if that\'s up for more then a week
Yeah thats a bargain mate and sad to see you go. Nice to meet you all those years ago and I remember your workshop being covered in tools, cars (inc a nice Cosmo) and RX7 bits and laughing about it. Then 4 years on I find my garage looking the same for a bit :)
Good luck with the sale mate but at that price you\'ll have no issues I\'m sure !!
I think i just made a mess in my pants.
Im going to check with the insurance company to check the cost but i hope to get back to you very soon!
Compression test with high results and this will shift soooo quick!
All, I have had quite a few emails and text messages about getting a compression test done. I just spoke with Tim at Rxmotors and he advises his compression tester is playing up at the mo so no point doings a test as the readings are erroneous and will show literally anything they choose to. The transporter is collecting the car on Thursday from Rxmotors so it will be back with me by around 4 - 4:30pm.
Brian
OMG, That price!!! Beautiful car, this will go soon, all the best....

Im quite interested in this... :o

Paint work is not the best and could do with a respray.
Brian
Man oh man. You\'re not all that far from me. Hmmmmm.
Chicago ?:Tongue1
Ha. Yeah. I realized I never updated my info. Moved to SE London nearly three years ago. :)
Have taken some pics now I got the car back and have tried my best to takes the pics of the blemishes also.

And last set. I am also uploading some youtube video of it which includes cold and hot restart. I will post url once it\'s completed.
The first vid in link below is when it was started from cold. The transporter when he dropped it off earlier in the day apparently started the car up just to park it up and then shut it off after a few seconds. The battery is low on charge hence the slightly longer crank for it to fire up. The second video 18 that I will add shortly has hot restart included.

My emails & texts have been non stop since I put the car up for sale. I have various people saying they want the car and are willing to pay deposits, at the same time I have arrangements with various people to come and view it. I don\'t really want to p anyone off, I know some of you are very far, quite far and not so far away. I will not be a mercenary and try and start a bidding war. I think the fairest way I can do this is first come first serve. So due to the high level of serious interest, I don\'t want to take a deposit and hold the car, as I feel it would be unfair to the others who are also interested. I think the lesser of the two evils so to speak would be, the first person who will pay in full buy\'s the car.

Brian
Im 100% still on for tomorow, I was going to text to let you know but i dont want to wake you up :P
W80 YAU you should seriously consider this rx!
good history of importer (martin @ speedline) and owner (brian)
if have good compression then is a no brainer.
Blow over = respray (but good time to change colour if you fancy) else just get it touched up by a decent paint guy.
Hi Brian, shame you leaving the rx but welcome to the Merc cab club hehe 320 cdi engine is a good engine and pretty brisk :)
Looks and sounds awesome Brian, cold and hot start sounds fine too, so comp seems good, prob still in the 7\'s = result.
Am amazed this hasn\'t sold already TBH..... and put some fuel in it BTW! :)
All the car is now sold. Sorry to those who were planning on viewing over the next few days and the others who wanted to pay a deposit also.
Thanks & Regards
Brian
It was beautifull to drive home aswell but i think im addicted to boost now!
L18M yeh i was very interested and did spoke to Brian about it but sadly was short of the asking price so Dan bet me to it... plus me being from Scotland meant i couldnt go view it either XD.
Not too gutted tho, i now have more time to save up further and still considering importing one. Dan you got a steal... enjoy it :P

Hi Liam it\'s been a long time, hope you are keeping well mate. Well I think I need to find my merc pretty sharpish as I\'m in need of cheering up after selling the rex.
