I took the 12a Display I have (Housing/Rotor & Shaft) mounted on a small Plinth which can be rotated by turning a handle attached to the end of the shaft yet still someone managed to pinch their finger
The display drew a constant audience who took great delight in turning & scratching their heads & then looking in my engine bay in disbelief.
It was a great success & with most only having heard of the design so this was the first time they had seen a demo let alone one in a car
It did a lot to promote the Rotary with several people saying they wanted a FB & were actively looking out for one at the moment, of course they were pointed in the Forums direction, even one couple who had a very nice scimitar GTE had it for sale & were keen on the low mileage white one currently listed on Ebay
Many Car clubs attented, Jaguar, Mercedes, MX 5,Golf GTI,Triumph TR, MG, Cortina GTs, (no Mk III) & many County clubs.
There were only 3 Japanese cars from the 70/80s - 1x Datsun 180B,1x Honda Accord & mine
My camera went T..s up after 5 photos so I think your job is secure Nik
Fortunately the pictures were of one of my all time favourite cars. very popular on the continent & & was the Capri's main rival but did not sell well in UK so this is a very rare example:-
A 1971 Opel Manta 1900 SR
There was also another favourite (sadly no pictures) a silver yellow Lotus Elan+2
Next years is in my Diary + note to take a spare camera
