[yoeddynz]

Well i think so. I would really like one but they were only sold in Japan and the US. I have heard rumours of one in europe?

Powered by a 12A rotary. funky styling. sooo cool. I want one bad!

Heres another picture.



In fact- did the 1000 ute ever sell here?

I would love one but i've never seen one here

[yoeddynz]

I'm not sure- arches look different?

Even NZ didnt get repus so I'm stuffed when i go back.
Could pick one up in america... but NZ want allow imports of LH drive anymore!!!

I know of one REPU in Norway, some enthusiast imported one some years ago From Australia, i believe?

[ultrastimulation]

Phoooaaarr!! That first one is a beaut!!

[Rusted Pistons]

I used to have a B1800 like that last one, it was a total custom build though with a roof chop widened rear etc.. Had a fog light mounted under the pickup bed to illuminate the axle









Good times, I cocked it up by paintin the flames on and attempting a v8 conversion that never got completed, seen in on ebay a few times in bits Regret selling it but needs must at the time!

oooohhhhh yes please! that would be great!

davey boy- that pick up is cool- fair bit of work gone into. I have no doubts you wish you still had it.

I wanna repu, i wanna repu...

Surely a rotary powered pickup must have been pretty curse word for actually hauling loads?

1.2 litres with 110lb ft at 4000 rpm- thats not bad at all- the same as a 2 litre pinto.

Rotarys do rev amazingly well but are also very very smooth low down. And a repu aint heavy. granted its not like a v8 figures but....

[yoeddynz]

just found this repu project on ausrotary.com..
its in NZ and boy is this fella going the whole hog!!!..

[Kyle67]

Not a Repu but a B1600

[yoeddynz]

i've heard on the exile grapevine that theres a bloke in belgium who has not one but two repus! Now how to tempt him in to selling one?

Contact him, you never know.

We are all heading to Belgium in a little line of Rotarys this June. So I'm hoping that we might be visiting this fella and seeing his collection- I shall take some cash. or flowers...or rohypnol and drug him then take off with the repu!!!
