I sold the CJ5 I was working on when I bought a Land Rover Discovery back towards the first of the year. Been wanting something else fun to tinker with and this little guy popped up at the auction last week.

It is in pretty nice shape (3 owner with a clean carfax), but still needs a little restoration here and there. All of the mechanicals are great except for the A/C and most of the cosmetics are nice. Next on the list is to have the new top installed, find a factory steering wheel in good shape, have the original paint buffed and waxed, and get the A/C working properly. Haven't been this excited about a car in a while!

 

wow those seats look brand new!

 

They're two years old, as is the carpet. I have a HUGE pile or receipts that came with the car. They even took it back to Jim Ellis Mazda in Atlanta for a full tune up and clutch a couple of years back. I haven't seen one this nice in a long time. I'm quite excited about it.

I was high bidder at $1,100 but it did not meet reserve. We settled at $1,500 since it had an idling issue...turned out to be the intake pipe from the airbox to the throttle body was disconnected. Hooked it back up and it runs perfect.

 

damn what a steal!

 

Those are OEM, no aftermarket upholstery fits like that.

 

Deal of a lifetime!
I got my dirty old vert for 1900 I feel less of man now haha

 

If that thing had a blown motor, with that interior, still worth $1500. What a deal!

 

Those custom embroidered floor mats though...

Nice find man!

 

Very nice find. I would buy in a heartbeat. Keep the steering wheel. It fits nicely.

 

Hahaaa! I don't know who MJ was, but she took darn good care of the little thing!

 

Updates!

I found a nice factory steering wheel that is on the way and I got the A/C working, it's ice cold. I'm heading to the local upholstery shop tomorrow afternoon to see about getting the top installed. Once that's done, it's off to the paint shop for a proper buff and a few coats of wax.

 

Nice glad to see it got a proper owner.

 

Wow nice. I had to spend $6k for my clean vert.

 

Finally got the new top put on the RX7 and Darrell is bringing the old dull paint back to life.




I'm still trying to source a nice original steering wheel for it. The one I ordered turned out to be pretty rough. More updates later.

 

More interested in pics of the rover ive got a D2 that I love

 

I have an original steering wheel on my very that's not in TERRIBLE shape but its not perfect either. Looking to sell it to buy a MOMO or swap it. Can provide pics. Unless your one you got looks better than mine in which case maybe I need to buy that off ya lll.
