Fairmont Sports and classics Brentwood

[Zippee]

Has anyone any experience of the above dealer?
They are advertising a rather lovely looking RX7 on sports and classic that I'm interested in - https://www.carandclassic.com/car/C1753234

Yes. No issues but check the car yourself rather than relying on the description and get them to fix anything pre-sale. They have a lift onsite.

Not the cheapest but they have some nice and unusual cars.

Yep got a good rep,and I nice bunch of people. They hold open days through the summer which are always well attended.

[Zippee]

Thanks both. Need to call them and check if the car is still for sale. Shows listed on c&c on 2nd June but nothing on their website

A beautiful shape Zippee that I have admired for many years and for me at least it's never dated . It's the engine that always gives me cold feet and I wish I had your confidence . Was there ever a more attractive Japanese sports car ?

Having had a speed 6 tvr and subsequent 11k rebuild in a little used to it 😉
Plus this particular example has been done

Its beyond compare in my opinion . A beautiful executed shape and I much prefer the blue to the more common red . Many years ago there was a Garage called Nostalgia owned by someone called Rod Leach who was big in the Cobra world . Based in Hertfordshire he had an Effini Version which had come from some Japanese Car Club called the "Midnight Society" who had modified the Car to some outlandish BHP and Leach claimed it to be a genuine 200mph machine . He literally had the car at least a year and a half and despite several price reductions it still couldn't be shifted . I don't know what became of the Car or Rod Leach and Nostalgia but perhaps someone will know .

They are a truly lovely design.
Sadly the one at fairmont is sold they just hadn't removed the ad from c&c

The building they occupy is up for rent, although they still seem to be open. Does anyone know why?

Yep they’re shutting,building opposite has already gone I think. No scandal,just the owner who is a very wealthy guy has had enough I believe.

That's a shame as they often have some lovely cars.
That rx7 is still my favourite and i have so much want for it
Such a shame it sold

Whenever I was on that estate getting DIY stuff, I'd stop by and have a look, and often a chat with the guys working there, all seemed mad keen enthusiasts.
