Not my sale, but forum users might like to be aware of this stonking example of a rare Mazda Rotary model in the UK, now on sale with less than 60k miles on the odo. T
The last estimate was less than 60 RX-7 1st Gens are taxed in the UK. This car has been owned by Ian Preece for the past 5 years, who I have known for many years and takes very great care of a few rare cars he owns. The previous owner, who had the car for 27 years, was also known to me and helped me to buy my first RX-7 1st Gen in 2011. He also took incredible care of this car. The first owner was a dealership, who stored the car for around 7 years, before registering it in 1992, hence the unique "K" reg plate. This car is also (based on the VIN) one of the very last production models. This ebay link gives a lot more details on the car and has some stunning pictures too:

IMHO, the asking price of £14,995 for such a rare example is extremely fair. There is another, in my opinion not so good, 1st Gen on sale at the moment for £19,000 (https://www.ebay.com/itm/266812099087). A few low mileage examples have sold for over £20k in a the past few years.

Know what you mean, Matt, but no hacksaw job this one. It even has a trunk complete with a bespoke trunk lid! ??? German company Lorenz built a few of these to order. They were reputedly silly expensive and (therefore) as rare as the proverbial hen's teeth.
