Description
This car was bought new in Maryland by a Swedish navy test pilot for his wife and imported as moving goods when he returned to Stockholm 1980. Since then its had very careful owners and the older inspection/Mot certifcate back up the current mileage. We can't find any signs that the car has even been crash repaired, rusty, painted or tuned. It's the most non-molested RX-7 I've seen with unbelievable low mileage. The engine compartment & interior are like time capsules, close to new condition. Every ID tag/sticker is still in place.In the boot, the spare tire, lug wrench and jack are still in place and unused. The original equipment works, right down to the clock, glovebox light, cassette player, intermittent wipers and power antenna.
Owners comments below:
As my corona project during 2020/2021 I did a mechanical freshening up of the wear and tear items using mostly genuine Mazda parts including:
Ignition system (points, cap, NGK leads, NGK plugs and a new Varta battery)
Cooling system (radiator core, radiator hoses, thermostat, water pump, heater hoses, belts)
Chassis (Maxxis tires, KYB shocks, MTS springs, bushings)
Brakes (rotors, pads, shoes, hoses, master cylinder)
Clutch (master cylinder, hose, slave cylinder)
Fluids (engine oil & Bosch filter, transmission oil, rear axle oil, coolant, fuel filter & carb reseal)
Body (wiper blades, door seals, tailgate struts, adjusted & lubricated locks/hinges/window mechanisms, etc...)
Sits right now on 35mm lowered springs, originals springs included.
Upgraded to electric cooling fan, original included.

Condition
-
Mechanical condition
The wankel engine has a great sound, terrific road handling, and easy gear shifts. Starts easy hot & cold, engine runs like new, can be driven anywhere just as it is. Lots of extra parts including an extra spare gearbox "See Pictures"
-
Interior condition
Interior is very well kept and completely original for a low mileage car
Sunvisors removed as they seemed to just be in the way, holes are neatly plugged, original parts are included. -
Exterior condition
As the car has not been restored, the paintwork is very nice with tiny stone chips and minimal touch ups around the wheel arches. Because it was kept under a cover at some point, the roof paint is not as bright as the rest of the car, but it can be buffed out. There is no obvious rust and the bodywork is straight.
-
General condition
This is most likely one of the best preserved and maintained RX7s in the country. Perhaps a car for a JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) collector, but also for someone with a vibrant collection. A wankel-Mazda performs admirably everywhere.

Auction information
General information about the condition of the vehicles .
- At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
- During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
Important to know before placing your bids!
- Once you have called in an item and the reservation price is reached we want you to deposit the entire purchase amount into our client funds account before retrieval can take place.
- When you need to retrieve a called in object we want you to examine it carefully. If you consider that the item does not match our description you do not need to complete the purchase. In this case the deposited purchase sum and the entry fee are refunded.
- If you do not examine the item on the spot the call charge will be debited, but you do not have to complete the deal.
- If you make the entire purchase exclusively at a distance you have 14 days to cancel, but must return the item at your own expense.
- Your shipping costs and other costs are not reimbursed when the right of withdrawal is exercised. Swedish court applies.
- For items that have not been collected within 14 days storage costs may be charged.
