This Mazda RX-7 Series 3 is an eye-catching and very well-preserved example of the desirable rotary-engined modern classic Japanese sports car, offered from long-term ownership. Under the bonnet sits a naturally aspirated 1.1-litre ‘12A’ Wankel rotary engine, which sends its power to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. First registered in May 1985, this example has been with the seller for seven years. The odometer shows 191,632 Kms from new. This RX-7 Series 3 is finished in the vibrant shade of Space Yellow, over a grey cabin featuring black half vinyl and grey cloth upholstery, with textured inserts on the seats and door cards. It rides on a set of 14-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels shod in Falken Ziex tyres. Equipment includes pop-up headlights, a rear screen wiper, a top-tinted windscreen, cruise control, electrically operated windows and door mirrors, a cassette stereo with graphic equaliser and balancer, air conditioning, driver’s door lock illumination, headlamp washers, cargo blind, and a heated rear screen. This example has been upgraded with aftermarket extractors, a tuned exhaust system, and a limited-slip differential. The car comes with a spare wheel, the factory toolkit, two keys with a red leatherette pouch, an original sales brochure, and the owner’s handbook with a red leatherette wallet. Please note: the numberplate ‘62957-H’ shown on the car is not included in the sale. It will revert to an appropriate, age-related numberplate in the event of a successful auction. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: the dashboard has been replaced, the front seat bolsters have been repaired, and a full respray has been carried out by the previous owner. The seller notes that the cassette player is not currently working, the cruise control does not work, which is understood to require a new actuator, and the air conditioning requires a re-gas. The car’s last REGO test was conducted in August 2023, which is understood to have resulted in a clean pass with no advisories. The last maintenance was carried out in December 2023 at 191,600 Kms by the seller, which consisted of an intermediate service, including an engine oil and filter change. The seller reports that the car is serviced every six months. Notable maintenance includes the radiator being re-cored, fitment of a new water pump and radiator hoses, fitment of a rebuilt carburettor and semi-automatic choke, a new brake master cylinder, a new clutch kit, the flywheel machined, the factory alloy wheels restored, and new tyres being fitted. This Mazda RX-7 Series 3 is a vibrant and very well-presented example of the sought-after modern classic rotary-engined Japanese sports car, offered from long-term ownership. Presented with an eye-catching Space Yellow finish, a distinctive 1.1-litre Wankel rotary engine, and boasting a couple of discerning upgrades, it would make an excellent addition to any assembly of Japanese modern classics, and a rewarding companion for weekend drives and classic car show visits alike.
