It looks like the base car was a stock UK market white series 2 before someone vandalised it by fitting that bodykit and doing a partial retrim with Noddy Holders trousers

Ian the A pillar is pea green, I didn't think they sold that colour in a series 2 in the UK.

The first few shipments of series 1’s to the UK were that green colour (apparently the Brits hated it and they didn’t sell well)... it wasn’t available after the S1’s. That bit of green on this car looks like it’s been sprayed or painted on more recently... the metallic pea green was a bit lighter I think... my first RX7, a 1980 ‘V’ reg series 1 was originally pea green but the guy I bought it off owned a bodyshop and did a top bollocks respray in 2 pack gloss black

I owned a pea green Montrose coupe later to become a 626 in 79 before my first RX7, I actually loved the colour as if was different to all the others in those days,
Must say I would love a pea green series 1 now.

White series 3 for sale on Ebay at £6500.

Looks pretty average with rusty doors probably worth half the asking price even with today's prices
