REDUCED by £2500Mazda RX-7 Type-RS- Rare Type-RS model producing 276bhp- Previous engine rebuild by RX-7 specialist just 6000 miles ago- Recent mechanical recommissioning- Compression tested and excellent results (see below)- Professionally repainted in 20241999 Mazda RX-7 Type-RS in Innocent Blue Mica, rare OEM black leather interior and only 43,000 kilometres (27,000 miles) recorded. Absolutely stunning presentation. Imported to the UK in August 2003.We are of the opinion that the RX-7, specifically the FD shape is one of the best-looking cars ever produced. It is seriously cool in so many ways, and it drives like nothing else - simply epic!This example was an incredible find. We came across it through a private seller who approached us with a 2018 VW Camper they were selling. We agreed a deal on the camper and upon collection the owner mentioned they owned a Japanese imported RX-7. So, we naturally asked to see it. It was tucked away in a heated garage next to their house. We couldn't believe our eyes, an undiscovered JDM import in mid-blue, leather interior and BBS alloys… and very very original. During their 18-year ownership, the car was looked after very well. Back in 2009 at 32,700 kms, it had an engine rebuild carried out by Jimmy's Mazda -7 Specialists in Norwich costing £5,000. Approximately, only 1,000 miles were covered a year, all the way up to the lockdown year in 2022 at which point the last MOT ran out. Since we acquired the car, we been spent a lot of time and money ensuring it is good for at least another 20 years. First things first, we took it to our local RX-7 specialist, Essex Rotary, who are one of the best in the game for rotary rebuilds, servicing and checking the health of the engine and the whole car in general.The car received a glowing report from RX-7 specialists, Essex Rotary, who carried out a service and most importantly a compression test on all rotors, which it passed with good readings (see report below).Actual Cranking Speed at the time of test: 220 rpm Results after normalization to 250rpm . Front Rotor First Chamber [580,830] : 745.33Second Chamber [580,830] : 763.37Third Chamber [580,830] : 764.29Chambers Difference [150] : 18.96Back Rotor First Chamber [580,830] : 835.03Second Chamber [580,830] : 818.38Third Chamber [580,830] : 829.95Chambers Difference [150] : 16.65Rotors Difference [100] : 70.74Whilst at Essex Rotary we followed through on all their recommendations. They replaced the rear brake calipers, rear brake pads, rear lower control arm balls and wheel arch liners.Next, we sent the BBS wheels away to be restored and we then made the call to have the whole car repainted. Most panels had scratches and a few small blemishes so we thought it was time for a full fresh coat. Now fully completed, we are over the moon with the results. All the hard work and time spent was worth it. Car will be supplied with a full years MOT and we can deliver the car on a transporter up to 100 miles for free. Free Home Delivery up to 100 MilesSupplied with 6 Months Autoguard Warranty and option to extend to 12 months

About Us:
Our promise: “We ensure you’ll find your ideal classic car.”
Just moments from the M25, or a 23-minute train ride from London Liverpool Street and the City, our Fairmont Sports & Classics showroom team in Brentwood is committed to changing the way classic vehicles are bought and sold.

Classic models across the decades

Our stocklist – with new vehicles arriving daily – spans popular and iconic vehicles from the 60s through to the late 90s and beyond.

Over two floors we present a curated selection of more than 50 sports and classic cars – plus several motorcycles – all fully inspected, checked and ready to drive away, delivered, or shipped overseas.

We buy well so you’re not at risk

The buying team comprises seasoned motor industry professionals: our backgrounds span retail sales, fleet management, auction, wholesale, and service, inspection and maintenance. Having grown up with, driven and loved countless classics ourselves, we know what our customers look for: models and marques piquing current market interest; examples that are in excellent usable condition and order; and vehicles that represent a sound, good value investment.

An online portal search for any classic model will list several hundred vehicles across the UK. The unfortunate truth is that the vast majority, under scrutiny, will prove sub-standard, misrepresented or require uneconomic restoration or repair. Finding a good vehicle without motor trade experience is not for the faint-hearted.

We purchase our cars from private owners, collections and specialist auction houses. We are exceptionally selective about which vehicles we buy, when and why; we reject over 90% of all those we see. Those we purchase match varying customer demands: ‘best in market’ and fully original; fully or partially restored examples; and sound, practical, fun classics to be driven and enjoyed.

Whether you’re an investor, an enthusiast, or simply keen to recapture your youth, we’d love to help you find your ideal classic.

Warranty:
We want every customer to be confident in their purchase. Whilst we sell nationwide, many of our sales are local, with some customers revisiting to buy, sell or service more vehicles.

To ensure a worry-free motoring experience, we include our own pre-owned vehicle warranty and provide full servicing and support on-site.

The price of every car includes a six-month warranty for major component failure: engine, transmission, and final drive. For the first three months, it covers the cost of any essential parts and labour. Thereafter we provide a 50% discount on any essential parts and labour for the remaining three.

We also operate our own on-site workshop offering specialist classic vehicle servicing, maintenance and repairs. The same mechanics that inspected and prepared your vehicle for sale will be delighted to keep it in good working order throughout your ownership.
