I just messaged you on ebay regarding this rx7. Looks tidy and exactly what I want. Are you taking offers outside ebay?

it is a series 2 but they weren\'t made after 1983... they swapped to the series 3 on an \'A\' reg

1st gens look great in white and I also love the S2 wheels.
Worth someone having a prod and poke round this one me thinks.

Well Mat, you are a lucky guy with timing.

There\'s been very little interest in these lovely cars for yonks then along you come with what looks like a nice car just when interest has picked up.

I\'ve nothing logged on this car but, as Ian says, 1986 suggests import from somewhere- no problem with that. (Although mine did sit in a showroom for nearly 8 years; just as you suggest this one might have done).

If mileage is 55,074 and if body has been looked after then this could be a nice machine. As always though ....rear sills and tie rod reinforcements must be good.

Hope it gets into the 1st Gen Forum ownership.

Afterthought.....Car would have been a \'D\' prefix if unregistered for a few years ....therefore most likely it has come in from somewhere else. As said, nothing wrong with that....the car has likely avoided our salt for a while that\'s all.
