Hello All.
My Name is Pete & have just joined.
I am looking to buy a RX7 to restore?
I have restored a few Rotaries in the past (during the 90s) & am now in the mood to do so again having developed withdrawal symptoms)
Have owned 2 x Ro80s,2 x RX7s, MCs - 1 x DKWW2000, 1 x RE5 & 1 x Norton Commander,

Hi Pete, Welcome.

I imagine you're from UK?
Plenty of super overseas members on here so it doesn't matter, but handy to know what market you're in.

Hi Codge,
You are correct, I am from England (Sunny South Devon) & am looking to "Get Back on the Horse"!

I have just checked back through some old photos & the two I owned was YFG 384Y (Gold) & BPA 225Y (Blue), do you know if they are still alive?

Hi Pete,
welcome to the forum..... keep an eye on this thread... almost every 1st gen RX7 that comes up for sale in the UK is posted up on here....

viewtopic.php?f=20&t=12&start=1820

it will give you a good idea of asking prices, both realistic and pure fantasy and also selling prices..... there are a few projects on there as well at the moment

cheers,
Ian

Hi Ian,
Many Thanks for the Link, I am very interested, just a shame about the distance, ideally I could do with one in the S West as it would be nice to view first as I recall looking at lots of DOGs before I bought my first (not that it looks like a hound)!

DVLA database says 'Not Found', which usually means they've gone to the great garage in the sky. Not always though like if they're forgotten somewhere & not SORNED.

I'll have a look in my scrap cars folder tomorrow to see if either is in there.

Many Thanks Dave,

As the car tax subject might rubble on for a bit, I've put those posts into their own thread to save spamming up Petes thread.

Answer to the above, neither YFG nor BPA were in my files, but they are now. As probable scrap cars.

I thought I'd found BPA but it was BPA 705Y - not the right one.

Cheers for the new info though.
