How Many 3,4 or 5 rotor FD's in the World???
#26
I am only referring to FDs, always have been. Please let me know what indication you noted that says otherwise?
Project cars are not in the mix for our purposes. Running driving cars seems to be the only fair ones to count.
I will take your word for the market prices of cars in UK, I'm completely unqualified to speak on that.
However the thread is about number of 3 rotors not resale or if it's cost effective compared to a newer car.
As I think a lot of folks will agree with, cars are a hobby and decisions are based off of love for the hobby and not through financially efficient planning. I don't think because a car project doesn't make sense financially that people will shy away from doing it. Especially taking rotary fanatics.
Yes we will never know the exact numbers, but I am confident we can get a better idea than the blatant guessing that's happening now. What I don't want is misinformation or further confusion of facts.

As I recall, I was number 11 and was the last 20B "Banzai" Pettit produced. Man, that takes me way back. Lots of time and money spent on the 3 rotor since then. Gotta say, I like where I am now with the car much better than the Banzai version. And yes, I am on the road and running. Took me long enough to get there though.

Wow Cool David, did not know that Pettit was the shop that turned yours into 3 Rotor, was aware that they worked on it.
There will never be another one like it with the customization and road you went down! So so much cooler than buying a Porsche, and being like everyone else who buys their supercar.

^ Thanks Snook. I went the 3 rotor route after taking a "drive" with Cam at Pettit in his 3 rotor. That guy is crazy. Cam personally did the rebuild on the Banzai engines - that is, with the exception of mine. Led to lots of issues that took a long time sorting out.
I don't know about the Porsche comment - could have bought a GT3 and had some change left in my pocket.

I know of around 10 that we have built that are running, not all in FD bodies. One is installed in an RX8 that we built, a couple in FCs, a few are in airplanes. There are bunch more that I have no idea what ever happened to them after they were shipped.
