BC RX7 presence in France / United Kingdom?

Hello,

I own an FD in Canada and I thinking about moving back to either France or the UK.

I am curious to know about the following:

1_ are there many RX7 in these two countries?
2_ are there many shops specialized in rotaries in UK and France?

I am starting a familly life and won't be able to spend as much time on my FD as before, therefore I'd like to understand if there will be options for me in case she needs repair/work etc...

The last thing I want is to bring her back and she rusts in a garage.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards

Yeah as said above there is a good following in the UK with specialists dotted around the country so a few to chose from. Most FD's in the UK are grey imports but they tend to be better spec'd so that's not a negative thing. FC numbers starting to thin out as rust takes them and FB's/SA's getting very scarse but have a cult following all the same.

Same as above.
Remember that UK is a RHD country driving on the left side
About France, where I'm living right now, there is few rx7, only 10-40 were officialy sold back in 93-95 but LHD rx7 are very very rare in France, majority are RHD from UK or Japan, they should be around 40-50 around fround and probably 10 or 20 times more in UK

Mon Stand in Orange (South of France) is quite good with rotaries but you'll find 50 mores times rx7 in UK than in France
