1983 RX-7 Elford Turbo for Sale - offers around £10k - NOW SOLD

Post by casey »

Not an RX-8 of course, but I know a few members (like me) are also fans of older Mazda rotaries, so I hope the moderators won't mind me posting this on behalf of a friend, Steve Porter. Car located in Rainham, Essex.

Steve is a Mazda trained mechanic (now retired) and has spent a lot of time and effort on this car. There is a lot of detail about the work he has done here: http://www.rx7fb.com/viewtopic.php?t=5029, including a link to Steve's Project thread, plus his contact details.

A lovely car! If I had the space, I would have bought it :D

The link requires an account registered on the FB forum. A price would also be useful.

Price added.

Sadly, I recently had to restrict guests accessing that forum, as it was a frequent target of bots, resulting in over 3000 users logged in. This led to the forum becoming unresponsive.

Forum accounts are free, subject to a manual check by myself :D

Sorry James, I see what you mean now, on re-reading your post.

It's proving to be a nightmare. I've blocked HUGE ranges of IPs, but it's still a losing battle. As many as 3000 guests are online at peak times. I'm going to have to investigate another solution.

Sorry, back on topic, but a useful topic bump :lol:

4277 on this forum, 2557 at 2am last night on the RX7FB.com forum. That was after I had reset the counter a few days ago. It's a losing battle against the bots 😞

It's good to see that the market is still healthy, for good, clean RX7's, at least ....
