Ah. Forgot about the Ro80. Didn't NSU make another rotary car?

 

The wankelspider had a sinlgerotor in the rear..

I love that car, thanks for posting the pic!

 

What size of single rotor?

" The mirror-image the engine KKM 502, the first standard vehicle engine. Sealing strip coal antimony against chrome, late IKA against Elnisil.
Chamber volume 497.5 ccm. During the introduction of the series the achievement amounted to 50 HP a max with 6000 Upm and. Torque of 71 Nm with 2500 Upm. of late 54PS with 6000Upm and a max. Torque of 75Nm with 3000Upm and again late 79Nm with 3500Upm."



And I forgot.. the Citroen Birotor was also frontwheel drive!

I meant to say the only front-wheel drive MAZDA rotary EVER.

But nonetheless, cool cars.

 

I actually used to own a '65 NSU Wankel Spider. My friend still has it in his garage. Needless to say it is very difficult to find parts for.

Hmmmm.....


or...


or..

 

Now that looks neat.

 

I have a weber carb, offenhouser intake and a header for a 1800 cc Mazda engine if anyone is interested/

 

Any 1200 aftermarket parts? Not sure such a thing exists, but it doesn't hurt to ask. The exhaust on my 1200 snapped the other day right below the manifold flange so I have to either get that fixed or put something else on there. It still runs fine but it's damn loud.

Here's my 1200:

Need to work on some more recent photos. Those are about a year old but it looks pretty much the same these days.

Ive seen a fair few 1500 and 1800 sedans in wrecking yards over here and they are a beautiful car and even for a tall person like me, have plenty of room in the back.

There is one 1800 being built/stored at Rotorworx here in Victoria, Australia, but it hasnt turned a wheel in quite some time.

 

That Fiat sure shares more than a passing similarity to an RX2!

 

The wagon you have (if you still have it) is it this one? I dont know of another estate in NZ.





If it is........Id love to buy it back please?

I put a mild port 13B into it with twin I.D.F weber carbs and a 5-speed.
Its from Vancouver WA U.S.A NOT Canada.

 

that 130 kinda resembles the opel manta here in the US from the 70s. image search google for "opel manta".
the manta had round taillights like the rx2.

 

Here are a few pics of my R130
