I love cars from the 1960’s. I also love rotary powered cars. And until very recently, I thought the only way to get a 1960’s rotary was in a hugely expensive Mazda Cosmo. (Or one of the handful of NSU Wankel Spiders left in existence) That was until Wikipedia told me about the Mazda R100.
The R100 is a fairly affordable car that combines 1960’s styling with rotary power. I love it! Predictably, they’re very rare but the fact that they’re priced under $25k gives me hope.
I’d remove the frail 10A engine and replace it with a 12A from the 70’s. That way I could still enjoy a vintage carb’d rotary but have much better reliability and parts availability. I stole these photos from

and you should definitely look at the gallery. This car has some fantastic details!

Better to go straight with a 13B as parts for 12A aren’t so common either. You can get most of them but they are pricey.
Btw. I have currently (not mine) 12A stashed in my garage.
