GHV521W where are you?!

Post by boogled »

Hi all and Codge!
I was wondering if anyone knows where my old car has gone?
GHV521W black RX7, I sold it in superb condition around 2005/6 and doesn't seem to have been on the road for a while, I just
wondered if anyone knew its fate, and I would love the chance to have it back!

Hi Tristram
It was for sale in Reading a few years back and in fact it featured in a Practical Classics magazine 2009.
There could have been some US interest but that might have been just rumour.

Last noted 2010...... Rotechniks in Reading would have been your next point of call....but I think they've been taken over by 'Apex'. See if they know anything about it. The name you want is Gary Marks. I hope he won't mind me revealing that info but he was definitely trying to sell it in 2010

Hope that helps.

See here http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C556877

It was at Rotechnics for some time. I tried getting it for a magazine shoot, Gary messed about and finally said he couldn't move it, seized rear brake cylinders I think? It looked quite tidy though but it hadn't run in a while. Gary wanted big money for it, no way it's ever a £10K car IMHO.

The guys name is Tim Barrell. He posted a couple of pictures of it at Snetterton on Facebook a couple of days ago . He posted it in a group called 'UK RX7 owners'.

I remember it being for sale for £10k at a dealer, I thought it was something like Turnaround Technics but that is a few years ago. I think they went bust.
