The Wankle has come quite a ways since those days.

"have you seen any of these NSU cars in person"

Never in person this one. Saw one on e-bay a few months back. Absolutely a restoration project, but still went for (as I recall) about $8,000.

Most old school wankle car I've ever seen in person is the Cosmo sports car. But anyone that's been to one of the last three 7Stocks has seen the same car. The Wankle car I've most drooled over is the most recent Cosmo sedan that came stock with the 20B.
