Those “four” rotating “cylinders” aside, this looks like fuuuuuuuuun. But so much cash, oof.
ReplyDeletethat body is in great shape, I only have one complaint about this one and that is the British flag when the power plant is Mazda and does not even have annoying SU carbs to deal with> :-) I loved my 1275 cc Midget but it had those terrible bumpers. I loved my Honda S600 better with that crazy engine which revved to 11,000 RPM.
ReplyDeleteI would trust gas station sushi before I would trust a Mazda rotary. The rotor seals are problematic.
ReplyDeleteA pox on your lack of apex seal confidence: I got *hundreds* of miles out of mine before they grenaded.
DeleteBat cribbed ya
