Definitely the right place and many thanks.
Following on from Ian's Post (We must be getting good as the register score is 7 cars already noted out of 8):

S1 FKJ 420V.....Grey rather than White? .....Early Press Car at Launch......Reg Date Aug 1979

S1 FLJ 418V.....Red, ....one of the same 5 or 6 Early Press Cars at Launch.....Reg Date Aug 1979

S1 KLK 577V.....Red.....Reg Date Nov 1979

EIW 590.....AH Ha! this is new to me.....Not found on DVLA either, so I'll note it as a Silver S2, probably scrapped..... s(c)

S2 UKL 965X.....Blue or Silver? Been Both? (appeared as non Elford, then as an Elford). Reg Date March 1982

S2 RKK 326W....Red, Reg Date April 1981....Believed to be the 1st registered S2

GSL-SE CVV 30X....Red....Reg Date Oct 1981.....At auction at Duxford 2003, Believed to be an Imported Car.

Sadly none of the above seem to be surviving now.

White S3 for sale at Jimmys. Looks a fair price to me for a car with a ticket.
Don't like the black wheels but S3 wheels are easy to get hold of.

sellers description:




This 1986 FB RX7 had been dry stored for 7 years by the previous owner.
Since we purchased it last year we have fitted a replacement engine and it has been recently serviced by us, including overhauling the brakes and new idler arm bushes.
New tyres fitted.
Tax and MOT to May 2012.
New magnecore ignition leads.
Janspeed exhaust system, audio unit with MP3/ipod connection, black painted original alloy wheels.
Overall it is in good condition and drives well.
There is a small dent on the top of the drivers side front wing and some rust at the bottom of the front wings. It is solid underneath.
Interior is in near immaculate condition and everything works including the fuel gauge.


120,000 miles....£950 seems a fair price with a bit of mot

If Jimmys have got it up for £950, you can be bet that's what it's worth. I think Pauls white s3 would be a good proposition for someone in the market for a reasonably priced s3

yes, that's right... maybe not the car for you Ronnie, being so far away.... but for someone over here looking for a project, it could be a good base.

its a nice car from paul's pics and if it only needs the brakes and bushes done a real bargain.
yeah everthing is too far for me lol, as always. like you ian, i love the white fb's with the maroon interiors.

i regret i didn't buy the white one in n.ireland as was getting it for £725. ok it wasn't running as sitting a few monts and
had a cracked windscreen but was very tidy inside and out, bar a dent in a chassis rail, although been told its quite common
as ppl jack them there and it was like that and passed MOTs before ok.

its all money to get them back on the road and i know little about them, but no point beating myself up over it i have my rx8 :)

though the jimmys one sounds good if its tested and taxed and things like the fuel gauge works, the black wheels are similar to my mx3s
