Of course in 20 years time it will be illegal to built or own a "hot rod". The fun police will see to that.

Wow I never heard of them before. As expected, after a quick read up on these its obvious the combination of large tank of a car and tiny little rotary engine didn't appear to mix well. Bad acceleration, 100mph top speed and up to 26litres/100km fuel consumption!
Still if you were a collector this may be desirable. But what were they thinking really!!

You know that Mazda gave Holden some rotary technology in return for the bodies. What to do with them! - Well put a rota in them of course.

but nobody will be able to afford it. It'll be worth at least $175000 by then or maybe in a museum with other great works of art!

Interesting article, only way to find out is to wait another 20-30 years lol. One day my kids might take my landcrab once I kick the bucket, if not, give it to someone who will love it

Be more a case of restoring the electronics than the car in the future.

There are way to many things that can go wrong in modern cars. Can you imagine trying to rebuild a cvt auto transmission in 20 years time! bugger that for a joke. The jappas have a use by date and after that its off to the scrappy

If only we could look a the future. Had a nice original Corolla with 35,000 ks on it about 8 years ago and got $600 for it at Turners, now the boyracers pay big bucks for those
