I haven't seen one for a long time. When living in Germany,
I'd always hold up my fingers with the 1-2-3.... and usually
get a reply of 3 or 4 (number of engines replaced!)

Same seller also has a RE-5 Suzuki.

Somebody thinks it is a Nissan :)
I saw a real nice yellow one at seven stock a couple of years ago.

I nearly bought one in Germany back in 1965. Good thing
I had to cancel as the rotor housing tended to crack
right through the spark plug area.

That had to do with cooling water flow around the spark plug and the rib
layout. The need for cooling was overestimated.

The gent sitting besides me in process planning department worked on
that. We others teased him about it. But it was not his fault, but
rather the design office needed to make a change.
The problem was short lived. NSU had a warranty on the engine anyway.
So, there would have been no harm in buying one.
