The recent revisit of the Poll on "What RX7 have you got" has reminded me that I have been logging 1st Gens in the UK of which I can be fairly sure are runners or \'good on SORN\', not scappers. I have been doing this for a year now and my records run to 68 cars. Allow the odd 8 which may never come off SORN, or which may be duplicates (cos I\'ve tried hard to keep things straight where I know a cars moved between owners but it gets difficult at times). At this point I reckon there\'s about 60 running cars which have been \'in print\' somewhere, either logged on this club, for sale on e bay or on show at Rotorstock/on Calendars.
I\'ve noted a little detail about each car, so if anyone wants to put the Series (1st Gen 1,2 or3), the colour and ideally a partial Reg No. up on here, I\'ll tell you if I\'ve got it logged. It would help to know if any owners are recent purchasers and where the car came from as it may be logged under somewhere else.
Regular contributors to the 1st Gen section - Mark, Shaun, Stuart (Syebba), Daverey, Don P, are all duly logged and noted.
 
All good fun lads, I used to log Rotherham Corporation Bus Reg Nos as a youngster in the 1950\'s. You get old but your brain still works the same!
 
PS, I don\'t mind logging \'whole shell scrappers\' as well if they\'re stil on a Reg No. to ID them.

Is mine the oldest then Reg FMX 600V its a 79 model?Been sat in my garage for years as the family have now outgrown it.It WILL be back on the road next summer,just need to source some parts beforehand....Steve.:burnout

Welcome to the forum Steve.
As FMX 600V was 1st registered in Sept 1979, it stands a good chance of being one of the earliest.
Series 1\'s are very few and far between these days, I haven\'t seen one on the roads in everyday use for years.
Nice cars, I loved mine!!
Cheers,
Ian

Not quite Steve, A couple of Imports exist that are \'T\' plates and there\'s a slightly earlier \'V\' Reg Aug 1979...before the change to Sept 1st Registration.
Only 11 S1\'s though now the black one in Widnes/ North Wales is being broken.
What colour is yours please?
