Look at the exhaust pipe...and that is on a SP 13b with a Dell...

Oh, I take that back, the car now has a 12a in it. The center console reminds me of a Viper.

The parking brake handle is out of a FB.

It also looks like it has a drum brake rear.

Love the car, there's a thread by the seller in the 'Other Rotary' section asking what he should price it at. That thing has to be a hoot to drive.

I have a set of those Revolution wheels, made in England, 13X8 in the 4X110 pattern. They are for sale if anyone's interested.

I've seen one I person.

Theres a guy in Niagara falls that has a car collection that well exceeds a million dollars(Porsche Carrera GT is his centerpiece) and as me and my friend were looking at the cars I joked "well he doesn't have a Rotary". Till we got to the rollerskate and the owner popped the hood and I just couldn't believe it.

He didn't have a whole lot to say about it, just something he bought because he liked it. If I ever get a chance to look at it again I'll try and get some pictures and more info.

Tell him you plan to do a club writeup, and he might actually go for it.
