This car is in principal a prototype or preproduction car like the Chrysler Turbine car. A series cars were build and sent to selected customers to test them under real day drive conditions. Usually those cars had to be scrapped after the test period is over. But like the Chrysler Turbine car a few cars weren't destroyed. And this one is one of those. It is located in Germany, registered and regularly drive to classic car shows. Between 1969 and 1971 Citroen wanted to build 500 cars with a single rotor engine and want to sell them to high milage drivers in France. But only 267 Citroen M35 were sold. After the the end of the test period Citroen tried to rebuy these cars but failed. Approximately 80 cars are still existing. Some in museum some on the road like this one. The M35 is based on the Citroen Ami 8. The chassis of the AMI 8 was modified for a hydropneumatic suspension and the Wankel engine. The engine is a cut in half 2-rotor NSU Ro80 engine which had 498 ccm and 49 hp. This car is prototype #63 The correct answer were sent in by DonW ChrisR Mittagskind thatz4u Richard Bartrop otherunicorn matthijsgrit Earl Marischal Ace-Garageguy Congratulations

I got today a delivery of a well known shop in Canada who is selling copies of Strato Models Detroit Diesel 6V-71 engine kit . I'm currently build the original Strato Models Detroit Diesel 6V-71 kit and it is exactly the same except the resin color. I know that Strato Models did only 25 -30 kits and those were sold in a box and not in a plastic bag. I usually doesn't support those guys how sell copies of other casters., but I didn't know this. Pavel from Strato Models is not happy with this.

In 1975, Mazda did something that's almost inconceivable today. For its home market luxury range-topper, the Japanese maker, put its badges on a Holden Premier body -shell and proudly renamed it the Roadpacer. The Roadpacer should compete with Isuzu Statesman DeVille, Toyota Century etc but it failed. Mazda Roadpacer AP was built from 1975 - 1977. Holden Premier w/o engine and transmission were shipped to Japan, were Mazda put in a 1.3l 13B two rotor Wankel engine (130HP, 102Nm) combined with Jatco 3 speed automatic transmisson. This means max. speed 103 mph, poor acceleration and a terrible fuel consumption of 9 mpg. Only 800 were build.

BMW had the Isetta, Glas had build the Goggomobil. The car in the picture was a 1955 Fuldamobil NWF200 or Fuldamobil S-2. According to the owner it is one of the cars that were build by NWF in Bermerhaven/Germany. The diffferent version of the S type except S-7 had all the same body style but different engines or number of tires. Some said that it is a Bambino 200.

This time I was looking for a 1967 - 1972 Woseley 18/85 Mk1. I said to some of the guys who sent in the answer Woseley Six that they their answer is correct. But there is a difference between the 18/85 and the Six beside the engine. It is the number of chrome bars above the bumper. The 18/85 has 3 bars on each side while the six had 4 bars. I 'm not perfect, I did a mistake. I had list the the names of those who had sent in Woseley 18/85 as the answer. Those who had set in Woseley Six were close but not close enough to be mentioned below.
