Peugeot 505 Estate, Buick Riviera, Lotus Europa, 2 Citroen 2CVs

I've always thought the design simplicity of the Wankle was amazing but it has big durability challenges. Its thirsty and must use some oil (by design). You absolutely must keep all aspects &
components in the cooling system in top shape (water pump, hoses, everything). One overheating episode will usually warp the "barrel" ending the life of that engine. The four rotor Mazda 787B that won Le Mans ('91) was a mind blowing race car! Little ole ...
What a beautiful car...
...my grandfather had a coupe version, not this sporty model. It was a manual transmission, and I remember it being a very quiet car. It had a big enough trunk to carry two golf bags : )

I think I had one of those - I can't remember
There it is - a friend from France I helped her sell the car over here. ...
