Hi Andy,
welcome to the forum
I recognise your car from somewhere, can't place where though.... it'll come up nice with a good mop

Thanks!

Previous owner had the car for years, 12 or more I think, and it spent most of that time in Essex so far as I know - that rings any bells? I do know she was very active in the rotary scene in the late nineties, organising events and suchlike, so you may have seen it around then..?
Re. mopping the paintwork - it needs more than that I'm afraid.. A bit of rust on the rear, by the bootlid, old (good) repairs to the front wing want redoing, front bumper needs replacing really (Terri somehow found a fire hydrant in Essex, probably the only one..) - all means I'm going to paint it, which is a chance to make it a bit more to my tastes

Hi Mate,
A series 3 FB. Has to be a 1984 car or later.
Yeh, Terri's old car.
Welcome from me.

Yep, that's the one

Terri & I are pals, and share a workshop. AOG is parked next to her RX3 as we speak..
Whilst it's mine now, Terri can still use it whenever she wants, and I've run all my plans past her to make sure she isn't mortified

more on that later..

Hiya Andy, welcome to the forum. I certainly recognise the first photo spot, here's one of my red RX-7 in what looks like the
exact same bit of Madeira Drive

Yeah, wrong flavour of RX-7, so sue me lol. Anyhoo, good to see Terri's car finding a good home. I understand she's been busy with the RX-4. Been setting good lap-times, from what I hear

Hiya mate - looks the same spot, yeah. You're local then..?
Are you on RetroRides? (Luckyseven?) - we have a monthly meet (next Weds) if you're free / fancy it..?
Had a great day at Anglesey with Terri in the RX4 yeah

Yeah, that's me, Boss

Thought I recognised the username, good to have you with us! I'm just down the road in sunny Worthing (well, that's what it says on the carrier bags, anyway).
I fancy it, yeah, if I can get a pass from SWMBO. Blimey, might be the first RR Wednesday meet I can make, usually they coincide with me working lates

Any photos from Anglesey? No spoilers, just interested in the RX4.
