Ebay treasures: yellow RexSeven

I can imagine people thinking the first generation RX7 (SA22 and FB) looks outdated. So obviously you want to update the looks of it and just model it after some newer model… Well, this little SA22 (for sale on Marktplaats) does have some updated looks!

Somehow it reminds me of another RX7… The FC??
Also the removal of the bumpers give me a feeling I’m looking at a yellow Corvette C5…

Last but not least: the ad mentions the car features a 1400cc wankel engine. Well I’ve never heard of Mazda ever producing such engine. Let’s have a look under the hood:

Looks like the stock 12A to me…
