saw this and thought it was kinda cool, and i wondered if this was ever availible in america or not.

 

Pretty sure we didn't...looks like one of those cool aussie deals....I don't think we got the Bongo van either.

 

dang.. that thang's bangin off the hook!

 

those were quite the thing back in the day. I havent seen many pics of the bongo van though.

 

Never came to the US.

 

They only made a handful of rotary powered Parkways (less than 50 I understand) and they were never exported out of Japan. There are rumours that couple of private imports that made it outside of Japan??? There are a few piston powered Parkways around NZ and some in Aussie - but have different trim, badging and other stuff.

There is one for sale at the moment, Okura Racing are selling a restored one that they have owned for many years - 5million yen to a Japanese domestic buyer, or 10million to export - that is BIG money!!!!!!

 

they should put a 4 rotor in it to get people to thier destinations quicker.

I like the smoothness comment at the bottom. my engine is solid mounted and you can't even tell the motor is running its so smooth. well except for the exhaust noise.

 

That would make a really cool motorhome.
