Guys I was by Harrods around 2:30pm and a pink coloured widebody RX-7 drove by on Brompton Road.

Wondering if anyone knows, I'd have loved to meet the owner and see the car. I was thinking the week before that I'd lived here for 11 months and had not seen an RX-7 and then boom!

Cheers guys

 

Was it this?
there’s a fair few RX7s in London but you’ll be lucky to see one on the road in the city

 

Yes......

 

All I know is that it sold thru a police auction a couple of months ago. Was siezed a while back by authorities here as part of an insurance scam and then sold on to pay costs I beleive. Don’t know who the new owner is though.

 

Can't believe how fast you solved this for me

I live in chelsea a few minutes from there

If there is a meet up let me know. I'd like to buy one if you know of any for sale. I'll also look into importing one from Japan

 

Chelsea. Nice! Tbh I haven’t heard of an RX7 meet in and around London for quite some time now. Very disjointed scene in the U.K.
Even the U.K. RX7 for sale market is pretty dead at the moment. Just overpriced junk out there. Depends what sort of car you’re looking for. Prices in Japan seem to be overtaking the U.K. values right now so may be a better option to look for a local car. Then again there are so many ropey UK builders and tuners that it becomes a minefield to find a good one. Maybe sign yourself up on FDOC which is the UK owners site.

 

Thanks I registered, funny they wouldn't use the rx7club instead of their own forum.

I'm good at inspecting these cars so no worries just need to go see some for sale. I'd also like to buy a supra if you know of any. Rhd or lhd for either FD or MKIV

Thinking of importing mine from US but I'd rather start fresh here it's expensive to ship I imagine

Hope to see you and other London FD owners around!

Yeah we have always had our own groups in the U.K.
stuff generally gets lost here and it’s easier to keep stuff like U.K. classifieds and RHD specific information there as it’s easier to find information that you need
what sort of FD are you after?

 

It depends on the price. I was selective in the past, but even something cheap to drive around would suffice to reminisce
