Quote from: David Nock;656454Yeh, I couldn\'t possibly comment, but yeh.
You saw it earlier Ian, Page 12 of this forum thread, in October.

so I did David, I didn\'t recognise it. Must have been a better camera angle 1st time around.
I wonder what it made at auction.

Auction guide was Â£900 to Â£1200 in the ad before bidding.

Yeah, I\'ve always wanted a series 3 in this colour and I\'d sell my RX7 for the right car, sadly I don\'t think this is it.

Now then you guys.... lets be positive here. Says only 4,000 miles on a rebuilt engine, and serviced by Elfords for a long time.

Then it goes on to say \'slight dent\' in drivers wing.......

Wohee, look 1066 posts, arrow in\'t eyeball for old Harold.

No, only saw it this morning. Notice I\'m adopting the cool approach now, where I pretend I\'ve had every 1st Gen listed for yonks.

The BHS says Glasgow originally, not bought from the High Street Store.

Still my grateful thanks to all and keep \'em coming.

It has no side mouldings and the badge at the back is wrong, also chrome mouldings at the side of the windscreen, could mean it has been resprayed...............

syebba · November 28, 2009, 06:54:40 PM

& the wheel inserts are black.
The screen mouldings are aluminium under the black paint,so maybe paints worn off or it\'s intentional.
Blacks a G8 colour on fb\'s,but i\'m biased my favourite is red.
Ta stu..

We are a picky bunch, but I\'m with you the best colour for a FB is red, sunrise red..........

syebba · November 28, 2009, 07:04:34 PM

I,m not fussy or picky,but have u noticed it\'s missing the rear plastic quarter trim on the rear side window:eek:,sad or what:evillaugh
Must get out more,but it\'s raining..

Funny how we all have different views on things.
I\'ve always reckoned that they look best in black, more sleek somehow...
Personal choice I suppose.

A7RXY · November 28, 2009, 07:11:43 PM

I know what you mean Ian, but your car is red................poor mans Ferrari.........
