:D :D Pete and I in a nice little article by Mazda UK to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the launch of the RX-7. I've met Kerr with the FD through the RX-8 OC and been out on track with at the same time as him at Rockingham. Small world ;)

that's a nice article guys, we're there really only 350 2nd gens sold here?...... and a bit disappointing to read this from Mazda UK....
'In the UK, the convertible was only sold with the twin-turbocharged 13-B rotary engine'............ don't they know their own products?

I have tried to look at DVLAs sight for numbers sold & it is hard to tell, I thought there were only 350 TIIs (hard & soft tops) sold in UK......but obviously I must be wrong. rdg

you're probably right Pete in respect of TII's..... the article says 350 2nd Gen RX7's though which seems low to me but who knows :?

Nice find Pete!

Shame Mazda UK couldn't lay their hands on an FC to complete the line up - I'm sure they could've found a lovely red vert somewhere ;) :D
