There's a scrappy near my work that has an NSU RO80, I walk past it every day, keep meaning to get a photo but at either 8am or 6pm it's always dark...

It was a big luxury saloon made from '67 to '77 with a Wankel rotary, extinct now because the company went bankrupt due to failing rotor tip seals and was absorbed into Audi. The Audi plant in Neckarsulm is the old NSU factory Wink

Mate of mine had a mk4 1.4LX few years ago, he bought a scrap 2.0 Zetec Mondeo for £150 and we converted it in a day using the stock ECU and some clever wiring, used the original box with an RS Turbo flywheel that cost £20 and a new clutch for £40, all in all it was less than £250...

back in the day before cd's, internet and mobile phones were the sizes of house bricks. I had to fit a manual choke back on mine too as the shite bi metalic thingy packed up. I remember as well they had that horrid ratchet system on the clutch pedal.

I had the whole peco BB4 system on mine and it sounded great.
