[ROVERNET - UK] P4 hot rod on Ebay, and a wheel-challenged P5

[Geoff Kirkpatrick]

Agreed - this is a pretty cool car and seems very well done overall, but
the wheels just don't look right.  I think it would be dramatically
improved with old-school steel wheels and pie-plate hubcaps, or even big
modern "dubs" that approximate the outer diameter of the original wheels. 
People seem more willing to part with big bucks for hot rods these days,
and I think his price is a bit high but not excessively so.  

Here's another beautiful car, pricey but looks super-nice except for those
horrific wheel covers.  What's UP with that, anyway?
