A classic 1985 sports car that once starred in adverts for a Cheshire hotel is finally retiring to the Lakeland Motor Museum – after three decades sitting unused in a garage.
The Mazda RX7 Sports Coupe was registered in January 1985, making it nearly 40 years old, but it has just 15,000 miles on the clock and is in mint condition, and an ideal gift to the museum from the family of former owner Sheila Sides.
Sides, a Cheshire hotel owner, drove the car for just six years after buying it new from a Warrington dealer for £10,995.
The new owner loved the car, and even used it as the star of advertising materials for the Highlands Private Hotel, which she ran in Helsby, Cheshire.
