You're really lucky. I thought that rotary engines couldn't resist many time stopped

The engines won't last longer than 50,000-60,000 miles unless you mix oil with the fuel at a ratio of 32:1.

@12valvepower That's what the new Trabi needs, instead of that sewing-machine motor that's in it- a Sachs rotary!

The car came out in 1967. It was 20 years ahead in looks. A pity they never developed the Wankel fully giving it a bad name. There was a Ford V4 engine conversion kit for this car.

Is the exhaust holed? Lots of noise.

norwegen oder schweden ???

@KapteinOpel tradisjonelt stemmer dette. Men en NSU-motor som har blitt overhalt etter ca. 1990 hvor nye rotor"tipper" i bedre kvalitet har blitt montert holder de jævlig godt. Jeg hadde gleden av å kjøre et par stykker på et treff i England i fjor som begge hadde passer 200 000 km uten et hikk.

@douro20 youre talkin rubbish....the engine mixes the oil by itself.

It's a handsome car.... I'm amazed that it started and drove.

Veldig dårlig motor i disse, som ble byttet gratis i garantiperioden. Det sies at RO80-eiere som møttes etter veien hilste hverandre ved å holde opp samme antall fingre som antall motorer man hadde "sprengt"... Men etter det jeg har hørt er de første utgavene av Mazda's wankel en lisensprodusert NSU-motor, går det ikke an mon tro å bytte ut originalmotoren mot en Mazda?

NSU and Borgward was the finest builders in History ! Klaus Luthe of NSU made the design. NSU goes over to VW/Audi in the beginning of the seventies. But he goes over to design for BMW.

i have quite the respect for nsu, whatever it means in german, they made motocycles and the cool looking world war II tracked three wheeler called the Kettenkrad, volkswagen hade to buy them out... bastards, ugly car i think, but the car has to be the pioneer of wankel rotary powered.
