Rotary Soul Tee

ロータリー魂 (rōtarī-damashii): "rotary soul."

On June 23, 1991, a car from a Hiroshima maker took the checkered flag at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. It was the first win there for a Japanese manufacturer, and it's still the only win for an engine with no pistons. A rotary spins rounded triangular rotors inside a pinched oval housing instead. Johnny Herbert drove the final stint and climbed out so dehydrated that he missed the podium.

A white coupe with a purple stripe sits low in the middle, with a barcode and a small boxed tag around it. The purple katakana reads ロータリー (rōtarī), "rotary," which is how the engine type is written in Japan. The rest of the lettering is model codes and the engine's name in English.

The rotary owner who worries about apex seals more than the weather should have this one. It's softer than most car tees, purple ink on white, so it sits as easily with cream chinos as with jeans. There's more where this came from in the street racing collection.
