Re: The latest 1st gen RX7 sightings...
Elford turbo series 3...










sellers description:
Welcome to my auction for a very very rare 1985 Mazda RX7 Elford Turbo please read full description.
First off it will be a shame to see this rare one off classic go but due to having no where to keep it any more its going to have to go.
This will probably be your one and only chance to get your hands on one of these rare RX7 ELFORD TURBOS, they only made 500 of which i reckon there is only a hand full left.
This one has its whole life story in the folder you can see in one of the photos, this car was a demonstrator with all the extras like air con electric windows etc, it is well advanced for its age, original brochures telling you all about the RX7, purchase receipt where the original owner part exchanged a metro turbo, there is full mazda history in the service book aswell as hundreds of receipts from Rotecknics a rotary specialist where thousands have been spent on keeping this beauty up together. There is far to much to list on here but please do come view and have a look through it, you will be shocked with the history of this, there is even print outs from when it went to the famous santa pod drag racing.
It truly is an amazing history file.
Down to the car, it came off the road in 2010 and has been dried stored since, there is no rust on the body and is in very good condition for the age as you can see in the photos, It does run and drive but i would recommend a full overhall/service as it has been sat for 4/5 years now, everything works as it should lights etc, in one of the photos there is some stuff in front of the car, there is : oil filter x2, fuel filter, alternator, and full set of brake pads, the leather cover that the parts are on is for the metal roof which is in the photo so you can remove the glass sun roof and put in the metal roof. As you can expect from a car this age that has been stood for 4 years that there is a little surface rust on the under side of body but nothing a few hours with a wire brush couldnt sort out and is all very solid still with no holes. The seats are like new with no burns, rips or wearing as you can expect for a car that has only done 68k miles, there is 5 alloy wheels they are all in very good condition like new.
As you can tell by this description the 3 owners of this car have looked after it to the max no expenses spared at all. Its a real shame we have not got the space to keep this gem any more. Now i am not going to let this go for some stupid offer so dont bother wasting my time and offering silly amounts.
To any over sea buyers it will be down to you to arrange collection and export of the car i will help as much as i can to arrange collection.
Any questions just ask.
sold as seen
cash on collection
viewing more than welcome

Check it out, aircon!
How many UK cars came with this as standard? I think this is the first I've seen.
