Yesterday, @stevewfolds mentioned the NSU Sport Prinz, introduced in 1958. This provided the basis for the car shown here, the 1963 NSU Wankel Spider, the company’s first rotary-engined model. In this case, the rotary engine was at the rear. I saw this one at the Bremen Classic Motor Show in 2014.

A score resulting from an unplanned meander. Lepista Tarda probably; Hawaiikine blewit definitely. #mushrooms #fungi #dinner #food #today

#GutenMorgen Fediland. ☕
Hier in meinem Exil muß ich noch ein paar Stunden auf die Kaltfront warten. Bis dahin denke ich einfach an einen Eisvogel.
Habt einen schönen #Donnerstag.

These days I’m most likely to find beauty in the viewfinder of the camera. I’m not blind to the nightmare all around us, but there are times when I’ve seen enough.

Soo those Bowells! Ok so Bolwell was a kit car made here in Melbourne

And this bulbous one is one that almost never existed.

Just extraordinary to be able to see something so rare and unusual. Not that there's many of the other models left around. All fibreglass, they are an interesting part of Australian motoring history that many not know exists.

Old and new, they kept on coming in. Curiously, the only Lotus that turned up.

And then this appeared. This is a new Bolwell! The co started back up in the mid noughties.

I've never seen one other than reading about it. My eyes just about popped out of my head.

Toyota powered. The owner said it was brand new and didn't know much about it. So Bolwell came up with this design almost 20 years ago and are still hand making cars. Mind boggling, considering how difficult it is to meet ADRs here too.

This yellow Bolwell is the one of 12 that shouldn't actually exist. Talk about rare.

@vwdasher

Lovely Buick.

The Commodore is a very rare slug.

The Orange Torana has me very worried

And the yellow SL/R is gorgeous.

@vwdasher The Lotus is not real - it clearly says "CGI" on the license plate.
