Buy a Mercedes-Benz C111 Wankel rotor + housing

Anyone have $13.6K to spare to buy an amazing rotary garage collectors item? Now available on ebay. My guess is you'll be the only person you know to own the set. Wonder how seller got it?

Actually the price is coming down, was listed for $14K in 2018: FB link

Very cool find, thanks for sharing.

Its fun trying to pick out the differences and guess as to why they're different. Those extra grooves by the corner seals are interesting. I wonder if they were trying to pressurize the backside of the apex seal like they do with gas ported piston rings. But with how long ago did gas ported piston rings even come around?
