Original Luce R130 Rotary Coupe on ebay - pix!
Heads-
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...TQ:MOTORS:1123
or just punch in the item number: 290187757948
It's the Real Deal - an immaculate 1970-ish R130 Luce Coupe "for sale" in New Z.
He's asking the World for it - but emails with him indicates he's really just blowing smoke, more to show off the car (although if someone ponied up the $75K?...?)- and IT IS AMAZING if you dig the old school rotaries!
Lots of smallish pix but more detail than I have ever seen on this beautiful Bertone-designed coupe PLUS a couple of YouTube Links to movies of it too. Only some 950 made and this must be one of the few survivors, certainly outside of Nippon-
ENJOY!

Thanks for your comments. My price for my Luce is too high what do you think is a more realistic price?

Thats correct, nearly all Mazda production Wankel engines share a single rotor diameter: 105 mm (4.1 in) with a 15 mm (0.6 in) crankshaft offset. The only engine to diverge from this formula was the rare 13A, which used a 120 mm (4.7 in) diameter and 17.5 mm (0.7 in) offset. This makes for great torque at low RPM. "A stroked rotary"

I wish i could say I rattled those numbers off the top of my head but sad to say I'm not a hardcore rotary geek. I simply copy/pasted those figures from another site.
