all of the above is good advice from Dave....
To get a feel of the different models available, have a read of the free E-book that we put together a few years back...

Hi Mark and welcome to the forum.
We are still unsure of your location geographically and also I presume from your terminology that you are looking for a runner (e.g. road worthy condition) rather than a restoration project? Also what sort of budget do you have?
I hear that there was a tidy series 3 which was for sale in Snaith (Yorkshire Car Centre) about 4K but not sure if it sold.
Cheers

Many thanks, as I posted somewhere on the site, I bought a 1983 RX7 fom Doncaster recently. Very impressed, she wants a tune I suspect as it is jerky when slowing down and there is a driveline whine (axle, bearing etc ). I wondered who would be best equipped to service one in the Manchester area
Regards all
Mark

Jerking in the driveline (bucking) is normal. You have to learn to dip the clutch a bit more to stop it.
I believe it's due to the low inertia of the spinning parts compared to a piston engine.
Servicing......well Pip at WGT in Cheshire is probably your nearest to South Manchester, and he knows these cars inside out.
Ironically Steve Garbutt has a unit at Carcroft, right next to Bentley where the car was. And he's got a good reputation.
