Re: Wheels

Are you sure they are not from an early Austin 10.It looks very Austin to me.

Re: Re: Wheels

Pictures of the Triumph Super Seven show much smaller centres (not shrouding the drums and similar to the West London special wheels for the A7) than on the mystery wheels, so that one's out. I don't know about early A10s. Here's a picture of the other side which may help:

Re: Re: Wheels

John,

Although they are indeed similar the Morris Minor wheels described in my earlier post, the rear centres shrouding the drums appear to be of a wider diameter than those of a Minor. Also your wheels have a total of 18 spokes laced to the small centre, whereas I'm pretty certain Morris Minor's only have 12. The gauge of the spokes also looks heavier - this seems to suggest to me that they're off a slightly larger horse power / heavier car altogether.
