As well as the RX8 "series within a series" that CSCC run as Max says, there are a couple of RX7s running or intending to run in Future Classics - indeed one got pole position for our very wet Donington season finisher - but DNF'd in the race.....


Got a soft spot for them as I co-drove one on a few International rallies back in the 80s - it was a competitive car in its class, and generally reliable.

We're still interested in doing the CSCC series for them. Being strapped to the sound of those rotors thrashing down a race track really appeals.

In the latest issue of the CSCC Classic Lines club magazine there is an RX8 prepared to the club’s regs available sale at £1250. Yes that is the correct figure. One race only. You know you want to.
PM me for the sellers contact details. If still available!

sorry Andy it's been a murderous few days on track and I haven't kept up with my correspondence. I've had some details and am currently trying to see how I can get it to fit into my life. It appears the engine doesn't run at all ATM.

No problem. I didnt realise that the engine was u/s, but i did wonder at that price. My understanding is that rebuilt engines can be had for circa £2k. Still a cheap car at £3.25k i suppose!!

Deffo is, but ATM i just know it would sit unfinished in the drive until I was forced to scrap it. My life is so topsy turvy that I need a turn key project.

Hi drbob, do you have John Duggans RX7? I worked on it in late 80 to 82 in my fathers workshop at Penrith.
