I’m going to give myself and my car a present. I’m considering 3 options:
- replacing the w/wheels for Minilites
- adding ‘Brookland screens’ for hardcore driving without a windscreen
- replacing the SU carbs for Mikuni’s
Noooooooo! Boring, boring, boring, boring, cliched.
They were cool once but with with so many classics wearing them I am just sick of the sight of them. If you must have alloys, Revolutions four spokes are much cooler. Personally I love the look of wires though I recognise they have their downsides.
I'd love to put my Sprite on wires but the WW axles for the quarter elliptically sprung cars are rare and I don't like the idea of adaptors.
Agreed. A nice period wheel option would be some chrome moon discs. Very stylish and easy to keep clean.
Whoever does not know how to hit the nail on the head should be asked not to hit it at all.

Nah Minilites rule
Wires are 50s and 60s
Minilites and Rostyles are 70s early 80s

Don´t forget the ATS A-style.
Optional OEM for Volvos, Opels p.e. those days. And DAF ofcourse

Seen a Rover P5B with correct Dunlop A looked awesome.
True, but when ‘driven in anger’ w/wheels are not reassuring! Sort of Elvis at the Ed Sullivan Show - movement-wise that is.
These it is then:

A friend of mine is the official importer of Watanabe wheels into the UK. As he says on his website (https://www.retroracecar.com/) he "shaved close to 30kg off MGB no.83 by fitting four 14” x 5.5” RS Watanabe magnesium wheels (at 3.7Kg per rim) versus the competition wire wheel set up."

Here's an older magnesium wheel I saw at the weekend:

Serious reduction in unsprung weight!.

Nice collection, I had a few back in the day! What's the story with LBR 810 T? A quick search tells me it's a 1966 Morris Mini that was first registered in 1978 (the external hinge shell confused me!) but it also appears to have roll up windows with quarterlights?

Anyone out to a Classic Car show in this lovely weather, if so let’s see some pictures next week.
We are going to a first time show on Monday at Chetwynd Deer Park Newport Shropshire, should be a fantastic day
It’s an Australia MK1 mini all of them had roll up windows it was imported back to the UK when the people who had the car moved back to the UK then I got it 👍👍
