Has anyone any experience of the above dealer?
They are advertising a rather lovely looking RX7 on sports and classic that I'm interested in - https://www.carandclassic.com/car/C1753234

Yes. No issues but check the car yourself rather than relying on the description and get them to fix anything pre-sale. They have a lift onsite.

Not the cheapest but they have some nice and unusual cars.

A beautiful shape Zippee that I have admired for many years and for me at least it's never dated . It's the engine that always gives me cold feet and I wish I had your confidence . Was there ever a more attractive Japanese sports car ?

Its beyond compare in my opinion . A beautiful executed shape and I much prefer the blue to the more common red . Many years ago there was a Garage called Nostalgia owned by someone called Rod Leach who was big in the Cobra world . Based in Hertfordshire he had an Effini Version which had come from some Japanese Car Club called the "Midnight Society" who had modified the Car to some outlandish BHP and Leach claimed it to be a genuine 200mph machine . He literally had the car at least a year and a half and despite several price reductions it still couldn't be shifted . I don't know what became of the Car or Rod Leach and Nostalgia but perhaps someone will know .
