[TR] Triumphs Digest, Vol 1, Issue 360

[Wayne Lee]

I think the Wankel Engines would of had to have been  licensed by NSU. They 
were the ones who owned the rights that the old Mazdas were licensed from. 
Mazda probably bought the rights to license others since though. When we had 
the NSU franchise they had the Wankle Spyder and the RO80 Sedan in the 
60-early 70's.
Cheers,

"  The Wankel-equipped Ladas were quite a bit faster than the standard ones. 
I imagine they were pretty scary.  The engines apparently were not Mazda 
engines, but were built under license from Wankel."
