vehicle shall be taken to be the displacement of the engine according to the
specifications of the engine issued by the manufacturer of the motor vehicle.
“ (2) Where the specifications issued by the
manufacturer of a vehicle that is driven by a rotary engine do not state the
displacement of the engine but state the displacement of the rotor or rotors
comprising the engine, the displacement of the engine shall be taken to be
equal to the displacement, according to those specifications, of the rotor that
comprises the engine or the sum of the displacements, according to those
specifications, of the rotors that comprise the engine.
“ (3)
Regulation 108 applies to and in relation to a motor vehicle that is driven by
a rotary engine—
