Do love the old Ro80 - was a very dramatic car when it came out
and still looks good now 8)

To think this came out when they were still making Morris Minors

The rotary engine was well ahead of it's time (they beat Mazda) but was unfortunately a disaster. Amazed to see one that actually got to 91000 miles even with an engine rebuild.

I had a toy one. When you pressed down on the car the front and back lights lit up. 8)

Awesome cars, even if the styling is a bit strange...

I like em in the same way I like Austin Princesses... :shock:

A guy on my road owns 2 RO80s, both running original rotary engines - one is his daily driver.
