The Appeal
Effortlessly cool, beautifully styled and mechanically pioneering, the Mazda RX-7 FB was the first generation of Mazda's iconic rotary-powered sports car, renowned for its lightweight design, balanced handling, and distinctive Wankel engine. Renowned for their handling and remarkable balance, they're a truly distinct classic car that's loaded with character.
This particular 1985 example features the original 12A twin-rotor engine that has been professionally rebuilt by rotary specialists Hayward Rotary in 2019. The car benefits from a carburettor conversion, replacing the car's original Solex units with twin HIF6 SU carbs. With recent mechanical attention including brake system upgrades and suspension work, this is a fine, solid example that's ready and waiting for its lucky new owner.
