This is a stunning Mazda RX8 with only one minor mark as shown in the photos, though it is hard to spot. The car was a pleasure to drive, and never had any hot/cold start issues. When we purchased it we were told how to look after an RX8 as they require a different driving style than a none rotary engine, eg letting the revs go higher before changing gear. At least once a week let the revs go into the red, either whilst driving or on your driveway. Never use supermarket fuel and change oil regularly. These simple steps ensures the car continues to drive well, the going into the red on revs clears any dirt particles out of the engine, these are the bits that otherwise harm the engine and are the cause for engines needing rebuilding and the bad reputation the engines get, when it's the lack of education on how to run the card that cause the problems. The reason we stopped driving (My wife from driving as my meds prevent me from driving) was we could here the sound of the engine running with a faulty coil. Once we got home we intended to change the coil leads spark plugs and have fitted the new uprated starter motor, we have most of these parts ready to be installed if we can find them. Sadly we never got around to having the work done as we had purchased an electric car, which is practically free for us to run having solar panels. I was also finding it harder to get in being heavily disabled. The car has no MOT or road tax as it has been some years since we stopped driving her. Inside and out is still in fantastic condition, we never wanted to sell and will be sad to see her go. The number plate was a private joke as she was desperate for a sports car and the number plate reads LBENT depending on how you read it and my wife was hell bent on getting one. To the best of my knowledge all the information I have provided is correct and is sold as seen. The starter motor and other parts will be included if found. The price below is not fixed and we will except offers. Milage is an estimate, there is no battery in the car and the old battery isn't charging but we know the milage is around that mark.
