I'm quite a fan of then Neil

They were an incredibly advanced car for their time and when you see them in the metal they are still amazing...

A mere photo cant express just how special they are... Shame they broke NSU... They were acquired by Auto Union who went on to become Audi...

James is right. Estimate £18,000 to £22,000. Stunning looking car in my view.

Bit of musical and moving pictures entertainment, while trying to find out what is the car driven by Chrissy Hynde.

Whats the make/model of the red car in the video

That's a Reliant Scimitar SS1 1600 I do believe!!

Looks very familiar but can't place it, same with the logo.
It will come to me, probably not this year though.

I got it from having owned 3 reliants in my time I have always kept an eye on their range. I was tempted to buy an SS1 at the time my Lancia Beta Spyder came up so I went for that instead!!

Nice RX7, and the guide price is reasonable considering what it would cost to ship one from Japan:

My only concern would be the cost of an imminent engine rebuild (£3000-3500) - these Mazda rotary engines need a lot of love, and the guy in the YouTube video noted that the engine had never been out of the car

Most of those early cars had the rotary engine dumped and replaced with Ford V4s
