I was in vegas this past weekend and visited the Imperial Casino Auto Collection. Mid way though I saw a car and thought I had to be seeing double. I never expected to find a NSU of any kind there.

Anyway, for those that don't know, NSU built the first mass produced rotary cars in 1963 (before Mazda). Here is an example of the 1972 NSU RO 80 Sedan. I'm sure many like me haven't seen one up close before. I even got the guy there to open the hood so I could get an engine shot.

 

hey that's pretty cool! I have seen one of these before at a classic show a few years back.

 

f'in sweet, nice you got an engine shot

 

^ ^ ^ +1 on that!

 

Pretty sexy! Never seen an engine bay shot, though. That fan is so tiny!

 

thats sweet!!!!! nice.....^yeah talk about overheating problems

 

Very cool. Is that a fan or a pinwheel?

 

+1 on the engine shot. Thanks for sharing.

 

WTF? No bluetooth? No DVD Nav? How the hell did the human race even survive?

J/K, that's a seriously nice antique. Price ain't bad at all, either.

 

You can easily change the spark plugs too.
