Oi Dave, watch it - 'DKP' as far as I am concerned is going, going perfectly well I'll let you know!

1st gen or 2nd gen?

I say 1st.

Reg date 08/85

Listed as 2300cc

And my V5 also calls my car an RX7 '2'

Colour implies first gen.

Power implies second gen.

I don't think they had second gens here in 85 did they?

just checked that 2nd gen dealer launch pack in the historical section....... 2nd gen launched in the UK on 19.03.1986 so looks like this car is a 1st gen

I'd say FB as well given the late1985 Ist registration date. Also never seen a FC in any shade of green.

Snaith is not a long way from me but just had a word with Bro in Law
.
He's going for 'is 'air cut in Snaith this afternoon so I should have 'The Goss' on this car later on today. That's if it's on show outside.

OK, So it's deffinately 1st Gen, Series 3. C690 HDT. That's an old South Yorks registration so it probably has stayed local all it's life, (Snaith is in East Yorks).
The reg plate is marked 'Woodseats Motors', who were the Sheffield Main Agents in the1980's.

Bro says superficially it looks OK (though he's not a rotarian). It has been blown over a slight little bit on the front bumper area apparently.

I see from DVLA that it was last taxed in 1998.
The ad also offers a 12 month MOT upon purchase.......A buyer would be wise to draw up a list of requirements for a car coming out of long term store.

I like the sound of the 56,000 miles, our Gus just ticked that up last month.
