That Irish one doesn\'t look like an SA I think the chap has his dates wrong. Personally I reckon she might even be an S3 as I\'d be surprised if you could get alloys like that in 4x110. Plus I think I\'m right in saying SA\'s didn\'t start production until \'79/

Thats a TWR front bumper, and looks like its got a factory mirror on passenger door so prob a S3, looks like a big sun roof too

Quote from: CHC;718661Very nice Ian and a querky reg too!
1977 - must be one of the 1st cars then?

yes, that\'s a nice reg no for a RX. As Tim Says, the date\'s miles out. They didn\'t start selling these cars until 1978 in the US and 1979 over here.

Looks like an s2 or s3 to me.

Yeh, I\'ve had this car listed for a year or two. It\'s been up for sale previously on Donedeal (Ireland Site).
I\'ve got a note against it previously as a 1983 S2 but I don\'t know now where that info\'s from.....Oh Dear......Slipping

I thought the age was strange as body panels give impression of later model but still - looks nice.

To be honest I prefer the standard spoiler, Ive also got a TWR front bumper.
Will let you off this time Tim :D

It\'s weird how spoilers cause so many debates on RX7\'s compared to other marques especially in the FD camp.

Would have thought somebody might have bid on it, but is this a sign that the market place insn\'t good for us at the moment - assuming that anybody was thinking of selling that is.  When you consider how few road worthy units there are and their age, why is it that they don\'t appear to be commanding a higher commercial value?

Here are the latest photos of \'JAZ\' restoration.
Exterior needs drivers door, small cosmetic repair to the sunroof recess and replace side mouldings.
Interior requires a few small jobs to finish off.
Then look at the engine - nearly there.
