This one has just been pulled out of storage - is it known to the register?

No, never seen before. Many thanks for that spot.

Our first RX7 was a Renaissance Red S2 WWA 535Y (with a tow bar for a trailer). Just like the advert car.
We sold it in 1988 to buy a Silver S3, then bought present silver S3 in 1993.

£3,000 for a car in that state and not having been driven for over 20 years

Can you remember what the tow bar connected to so it was capable of towing ?

Not really Cliff, It was so long ago and I didn't fit it. But I remember fixings in the spare wheel well.....not particularly reinforced.

[Threesevens]

I'm reasonably sure that the seats are replacements. JDM S1's never got that pattern.

Looks like some nutter paid £8600 for it

Looks like Mick Choi has put his FB up for sale on eBay. Tried to post a link below, apologies if it doesn't work:

There's no doubt Micks poured a load of dough into this car but the sum total of his expenditure doesn't necessarily equal the market value of the car.... it's a difficult one to value............ I don't know why he keeps name checking me as if I'm some kind of purveyor of rare RX7 parts..... I just flogged him some bits that no one else wanted and er....... "Elford front bumper £150 that was broken in 3 pieces same price & condition as ian65 was selling his one for!"..... I've never sold or tried to sell an Elford front spoiler that was broken in 3 pieces Hopefully anyone interested in the car will look me up after he keeps mentioning me and I can then give them my views on it.
I'd be interested in seeing dyno sheet for the car.... last I heard just before he got banned off here was that the car ran like a dog and he was moaning about the work Tim did installing the Janspeed setup.
Good to see he's fathomed out how to use a camera though and is keeping the Max Power flag flying

I like the colour, as for the rest I will let you make up your own minds ......
