SUMMARY

A rare, second-generation, soft-top example of Mazda's powerful RX-7 Turbo, finished in Blaze Red on offer after being freshly recommissioned.

DESCRIPTION

Restyled for 1986, the second generation RX7 was fitted with a new, more powerful engine and improved rear suspension at the same time
A turbocharged variant was introduced in 1988, becoming available in convertible form the following year, and with 200bhp available was capable of a, claimed, 148mph with the top up
Supplied new by Charles Follett Ltd. in London on 15/05/1992, this second generation RX7 Turbo Cabriolet has recently been recommissioned
Finished in Blaze Red over a black leather interior with matching black door cards and carpets throughout, it sits on recently refurbished BBS cross-spoke alloys
Powered by a twin-rotor Wankel of, nominally, 2.3-litres displacement which was replaced around 12,000 miles ago
Recently recommissioned and thoroughly examined, fresh fluids, fuel system overhaul and more all of which is fully detailed in the Condition Report
Supplied with the correct Tonneau cover, tool roll, wheel chocks and jack. Also present is the original black book pack containing the handbook, service booklet and instructions for the radio cassette, along with a period Mazda sales brochure, a further service and Owners Manual on CD Rom and both keys
The Turbo Cabriolet is a rare car and it's unusual to find one in this condition - an opportunity not to be missed
