Apparently still around but without the "Rx7" flashes.
As said, David will know.

Quote from: don wyatt;722296As you boys know I am eagerly awaiting the inspection of a possible purchase of a S2 RX7. So much so that I am clock watching.

I am thinking also about if I do, which i probably will, come home with the car, will I change it, in that I mean, will I update its interior and body colour.
If i do, it will be done pretty thoroughly.

Interior removed, engine out, before prep and re-paint, and again if I do, it will be in highly glossed dark cherry red/claret/wine colour.

Do any of you chaps know anyone that has refurbed a FB interior to leather ?

Don.

The best leather Ive seen in a gen1 was this,

Dont know who did it though, was a car I veiwed a couple of years back.
It had Rx7 embosed into the seats and door cards.
By the way, yours is S3 not S2 :Tongue1

Can I be so rude as to suggest a mazda colour - Garnet Red Mica 25F - my 2003 323F is that colour, and it is lovely, and it\'s Mazda :Thumbsup!

there are some pics here

Must concur Keith - Don\'s potential purchase is S3.
Very nice leather work and the embossed RX7, really hits the target - ooooh back of the net!
Like the wood inserts too - anybody know where these are available?

Is the external colour Sliver of metallic Green on this 1st Gen? Can\'t make my mind up.

syebba · October 21, 2010, 01:48:22 PM

From memory it was silver.The owner spent over Â£10k restoring the car,he sold it,i think for Â£1.5k approx 2>3 years ago,should be on older posts here.

Ah right , thought it was an S2, okay S3 will do, as long as its a good un dont care really.

Been messing about with colours and have already painted it Red, (virtual you understand) but I have to get CaptainBiz to download the pics for me.
Watch this space.

Anyone fancy a paint job ? I should wait n see my work before you answer that lol.
Don.

Thanks for the leather interior pic by the way. I was thinking about cream hide ?
ruby/claret or dark cherry red paintwork.

It was green, that\'s why Keith didn\'t buy it. It looked silver in the pics but then, in reality, oh dear!

Thats right, pulled up outside the guys house and there it was light green:2Mad
And the wood inserts, err no, stick on lookalike wood that doesnt unless you are 10 foot away.
