Just a little off-topic.

Can anyone shed any light on the wheels fitted to this car in the photos?

They are original Minilites but are "different" in that they have a pronounced rim between the hub and spokes on the outer face of the wheel.

I ask because I've recently acquired a set of five of these in TR7 fitment and was curious as to their design provenance.

Thanks.

If I remember correctly they were the cheaper aluminium ones instead of magnesium ?

ditto

Magnesium Mnilites are extremely light, these are cheap aluminium wheels.

I seem to remember Terry Kaby campaigned this car for a while.

Girling rear calipers are wrong and the engine sounds like it is something a bit more modern than it should be
