SERIES 4/5 MAZDA RX-7

-

Historical­ly, the Series 4/5 FC RX7 has long been the middle child of the lineage whereby most collectors would be drawn to the early Series 1s, 2s or 3s or – at the other end of the spectrum – the most modern Series 6, 7 or 8 FD RX7 (you can probably thank a certain Hollywood franchise for that).

In our eyes however, the FC and its gorgeous 80s wedged charm are no less desirable than its siblings. They were also a technologi­cal leap from their predecesso­r and were able to hold their own against the popular comparison of the time, the Porsche 944.

Mechanical horror stories are plenty in regards to old rotaries, much of which can be avoided with proper maintenanc­e. Look for decent service records.
