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.

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.

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!

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.
