No, not previously seen, good spot thanks
It looks like it has an Elford bodykit
Weird re-spray.....brown in the engine bay, silver outside. It did have, webers...maybe....Bit of rust in the reach wheel arch but if cheap enough, nice project. Anyone interested?

I thought they looked like SU's
The leather interior and wooden steering wheel would have cost a few quid.
Not sure it would be for me but it is different, like the rest of the car

Possibly a Subaru Impreza hood scoop? In the wrong place for the SU's unless there is some fancy ducting involved?

has the world gone mad.... this is up to £4111.00 with 3 days still to go..... it's been off the road for 16 yrs, no mot and is all colours.
My S3 is booked in for an mot next week then it's going up for sale.... I think I need to revise my selling price 'cause mine is 5 times better than this one.

Madness alright! Could be a case of getting mates to jack up the price....re-listed next week due to time waster, when no one goes above the matey price. A very very clean example, decent mileage, two tone silver, series 3 just sold here at auction for 7k...euro. Good to very good price for the condition.

My mate in the trade sent it to me, if anyone on here is interested but needs help, my mate could help and he can collect/deliver.

Currently sat at £940 but there would be another £150-300 in fees on top.
sold £1220 plus fees
just been re-listed on Facebook...

I’ve decided i won’t have the time to get my RX7 FB project done. So it’s up for sale.
It’s a 1984 Series 3, Silver with wine velour interior.
It’s been off the road for about 23 years.
The previous owner has done 95% of the welding that is needed.
The engine runs with the help of fuel mix put directly into the carb.
TWR bumper and skirts now sold. I have an original front bumper. arriving soon.
Bad bits....:
The front wings need some attention.
Brakes are sticking but i’ll see what i can do
Clutch slave cylinder needs replacing as seized.
Some assembly required on interior and exterior parts
Will need some minor bodywork and paint.
Good bits
All the electrics work
Interior is in very good shape and all original
Janspeed exhaust
Has a few spares
V5 present
I’ve been told to price it at £3k upwards
However i need the space and i’d accept offers in the close region of £2500
It’s located near Sleaford, Lincolnshire, UK.
