Re: The Latest 1st gen sightings
Just checking if this one is on the register? Spotted at Essex Rotary today. Has been dry stored for a while, owner of about 20 years, based in Essex, is wanting to get it back on road. Around 40k on engine. Looked cosmetically very nice.

Missing the moonroof, front suspension cap, blackpaint on the windowtrim strip, one washerjet (84' RX7 two washerjets,19878-1983 one washerjet
and the wrong structure in the seat polstery for my taste. One pipe Exhaustdesign isn't my way cause the rear of the bodyshell mazda designed for two pipes.
BTW the GTX is the Rx7 fb version we all wanted to have.

Another one appears from a garage after 21 years. Probably not on the register...

Re: The Latest 1st gen sightings
Another one coming out of the woodwork, series 3.
Off the road for 17 years so probably not on the register.

Re: The Latest 1st gen sightings
Dave had picked this one up back in Jan 2019 when it was advertised on Gumtree so it was on the register... it's been for sale on facebook a few times since but looks like it's sold on Ebay now for £1900.... hopefully it'll get re-commissioned.Threesevens wrote: ↑Sun Aug 25, 2019 10:05 pm Another one appears from a garage after 21 years.
