Re: The Latest 1st gen sightings
Looks a japanese only model, the SE Limited is the top of the range trim I believe, so the leather seats could be stock. Steering wheel could be stock too. Wouldn't be surprised if its mileage is a mix of KM and miles, so could be a fair bit lower than that. Might have cruise control and aircon, LSD etc too.
I love the mirrors, very rare parts! Shame its a brown interior S2 12A NA, a later S3 savannah turbo SE Limited in a different colour combo would be about the ultimate RX-7 FB, followed by a GSL-SE.
It would be a better car than a UK spec, but the Auto would be a bit subjective.

Re: The Latest 1st gen sightings
a 1984 series 3 in tender blue for sale on Ebay.
It looks in really good condition with a few fairly minor mechanical issues.
From the photos body and interior look great but who know what is lurking beneath!
But it now at £2500 looks a bargain.

Re: The Latest 1st gen sightings
Same one is back up for £7495 Kev!
Not sure if the original seller increased the price or it’s been bought and immediately relisted higher ?

Re: The Latest 1st gen sightings
It failed mot on 11 items in 2007, mostly brakes and 1 corroded suspension mount.
Looks like the body has let go big time since then!!
Price is a bit much, could have had my Elford for that a few years ago lol.

Re: The Latest 1st gen sightings
The YEllow one is close to me.
I was offered it for 2K but the underside looks as if its been sat in the channel since 2007
Would be a BRAVE man to take this on
