Tiny British saloons with V8s and flashy paint jobs are lots of fun, but you've seen one, you've seen 'em all; ownership generally means weekends at local car shows and the occasional overheating drive around town. This car- currently up for sale on eBay- is an interesting variation on the theme: a '59 Morris Minor 1000 with a built Mazda B12 rotary under the hood, some custom chassis fabrication, and plenty of well-executed-yet-restrained body/paint work. The whole package looks pretty good and ought to be quite streetworthy (plus the seller gets some bonus points for the unusually coherent description). The auction ends tonight.

Are those the Fittipaldi 5 star rims that unfortunately made their way onto every Ford Probe, Nissan 240, and A1 VW GTi in my highschool parking lot?
Either that or they say, "Modern" on the center cap!
