its a bit different over here as youdont register the car as such, you have to pay road tax its about £160 if i remember correctly. insurance is a rollercoaster and it all depends on how old you are  how old the car is, where you live ( good or bad area )but you could get a classic car insurance for about £100/£200. the problem we have is the cost of petrol or more to the point the 80% tax on fuel.

you will need insurance to purchase you road tax disc, which must be displayed in the windscreen at all times when on the public highway ...  not to mention drving without insurance is also ilegal

Insurance comes in three types

Third party - covers other people, e.g will not pay out if your car is stolen, or catches fire or for repairs in the event of an accident

Third party, fire and theft - same as above but covers loss by fire or theft

Fully comprehensive - will pay out for all of above and will pay to have your car repaired in the event of an accident

Third party is usual cheapest and fully comprehensive the most expensive

Tee prices vary greatly so the only way to find out is to get a quote

as far as In know 1st gen RX7\'s just have to pass a visable smoke test ... I will ask my dad as he works for the Vehicle Inspectorate  ( Ministry of Transport)
