I had my other car in a little car show this morning.

Ive seen and driven a lot of different cars in my life but never seen one of these. I love'd it.

Do you know what it is? I didnt.

Boy, you got me stumped. My first car I learned to drive was a Borgward Isabella and my first car that I bought was a Triumph Herald. My best guess, is it is made in Europe, maybe Italy. Really, though I have no idea. I am guessing the wheels and paint are not stock.

Great looking car, what is it?????

My first guess was Lancia. But then the emblem stomped me. I know I've seen this emblem before... Can remember where... :bash:

Think 70's. Early.

This thing came in and it sounded mean. A very aggresive tiny rasp.

The color is kick @$$. Very sub lime.

Keep guessing.

Wheels are true to the era. Just one up in size.

Here it is. Hehhehehe

Holy wankel, I forgot about those. I love oil fill cover.

 

[UPS92008]

Hahahahaha. Thats what I said. It was a really sweet little car.

The guy I just sold my 540 to rebuilds old Mazdas; he has a rebuilt Mazda RX2 that is all black. Really a sweet car.

As I recall, Mazada thought the wankel engine was a wave of the future. It started putting the engines in all sorts of vehicles, even sedans. It basically killed the company. They got back to their roots with the basic GLC a small 4 cyl car & wagon and started to make a come back.

I have heard the mileage is not so hot on those cars, great cars to drive though. I would consider that a classic, a rare classic.
