Perhaps we could all stump up some cash and buy it our selves.
How many members do we have and lets go from there

I\'ve seen this car live.... we had it in our stand at a motorshow earlier this year...

I would also want to have it!

Wow!  How sweet is that body kit??!!
Shame its LHD.....

[kiwimazda]

Unfortunatly all the Gp b cars were left hand drive. Just the way I like it. And It keeps that exhaust heat away from the driver and burns the co driver. Excellent

[MikeLMR]

all the best rally cars are LHD ... not sure why ? there must be a reason for it ? Perhaps its just because most of the good drivers are from mainland europe ?

This would be a nice ride for you Mike!

The guy who has it now has not raced it. He just restored it.
He said he would likte to try it in Finland where the gravelroads are VERY fast... would be good for the Rx7 and him!

But he was a little afraid of crashing it... he talked about selling it when I last met him.

He also rallied Rx3\'s and 7\'s before.

I would buy it if I had mucho money. Hence now investing in Camelot.
And I would race it as its meant to be

[MikeLMR]

yeah its about 55\'000 Euro\'s over my budget too

a bargain considering how competitive these things were on the rough stuff in group B doubt you could buy an ex works 6R4/Manta 400/Rs200 etc. for the same money.

thanks for posting this. i never knew Mazda planned to compete in Group B. this is a bad-ass Rx-7. would have loved to have seen the series get off the ground. i\'m sure this Rx-7 would have gave hell.

thanks again.

[yoeddynz]

wow-! It looks rude! I\'ve never seen a body kit like that before on a rx.

I\'m just trying to imagine how nice it sounds tearing past at 100mph on gravel!!!

Has anyone got some video footage of this car in action or any other simular RX with the same sort of Rorty sounding naturally aspirated engine we can see please?
