Series 3 on ebay...

Seller description:

For sale.
Mazda rx7 1984 series 2.

23k on the clock! 5 speed Manual. Metallic green (not believed to be original but looks well done!)
The chrome bullet mirrors are also wrong.
Sold as a non runner. It does fire up on easy start, we replaced the fuel pump and fuel is circulating but will not run!

There are four spark plugs on one side of the engine and two exhaust pipes exiting on the other side.

Electric windows. Sun roof is a metal section which pops out altogether. The body work and paint is very good for the year! Very tidy underneath, stainless exhaust all 5 alloy wheels could do with a refurb, a dent on the front nose cone, looks like it has had a light front end impact. The front bumper brackets are bent (I will try to sort this out before collection) the lights move but not fully. It moves freely and has disc brakes all round and the hand brake works. It has a lovely leather recaro style interior with matching carpets, dished three spoke steering wheel all complete looking correct to the mileage, little sign of ware! V5 present.

Call or text Alex 07900663086

Delivery can be arranged.

Another small project for someone with a spare engine, dunno about the advert lol, but might not be a lot of work, if the body is in good shape underneath.

Don't think Mazda did that colour of green? Anyone nearby that can take a look, the interior sounds interesting.

I have noted it previously in 2009. A Dark Metallic Green S3 with side skirts and beige leather interior. It had been unused for a few years.

It was in Sheffield, went to Shepton Mallet for restoration work. This paint finish looks like another, better, coat of Dark Metallic Green.

Strange to have so many underbody shots and only 1 topbody shot?

The car had a fuel pressure problem and we gave some pump delivery pressure advice at the time (on MRC?).

That's not an original colour. Interior looks like it was retrimmed by the same mystery firm that did mine, same colours even down to the piping. Looks as if it has Elford skirts and spats as well? Worth a punt if you had the cash, some nice bits in there

I missed the accident damage, I was looking at the photos rather than reading the blurb :oops: Yeah, bloody dreamer! :lol: However, a rust-free shell is still becoming a rare and valuable commodity. Think the days of £200 ebay wreckers are fading fast...

yeah, prices of these cars seem to be climbing, even for projects, but who's to say this car is rust free.... the seller doesn't seem too clued up about the car ( 4 spark plugs and 2 exhausts :roll: )and unless you know where to look, these cars can appear in nice condition at first glance. I'd bet my mortgage I could find structural rot on this car without trying too hard.

Don't like the sound of damage and for that reason it's way over priced. I agree there will be rust/rot at the usual areas. The green and cream interior remind me of a rover 200 diesel I had, kinda goes OK that scheme.

You may remember there was a complete S3 that sold for £37 approx 3 years back,or maybe it was £17?
It was silver & pictured in front of a garage on fleabay.
Remarkable,weigh in value would of been much more.
