Hi all,

I'm looking into importing an RX-7 and wonder if anyone has any advice/recomendations on spec and cost.

Monday of this week I attended an auction in Southampton hosted by a1carauctions.co.uk and I was very interested in seeing how cheap (it seemed cheap to me!) the various jap import models can be.

There were not any RX-7's, although there were numerous MX-5's and they did appear to be several thousand pounds below what you see them advertised for.

Granted, you need to do a little work on them as the cars displayed are as they were straight off the ship however they are still a lot cheaper.

Has anyone ever bought a car from a1carauctions before and was it ok ??!!

Many thanks for your time
Stu

The auctions are held every Monday at Dock Gate 8, viewing is from 9am. The auction commence's at 11am.

The cars themselves are as they were when shipped, i.e. you need to get a few things done such as fog light, radio etc.

Most of the cars have a few bumps but nothing worth worrying about !!

Cheers

Yup, all duty is paid the only things needing changing are the fog lights, speedo etc.

I'm probably gonna head back to the auction in a month or so's time.

It may be best to check out their website first - www.a1carauctions.co.uk - as you can download the latest stock of cars available and check out if there's anything specific your looking for.

Cheers
Stu
