Road wheels

The 5 road wheels, out of a collection of 9, I will be using have had the old Michelin XAS's removed (which still had a good tread on them but were at least 30 years old!) The wheels have been sent away to be chemically stripped, de-rusted and primed. They will be painted in RAL7044 (Silk Grey) enamel paint which is a pretty good match to the original colour. Then It's off to Longstone Tyres for a new set to be fitted - this is gonna hurt my wallet!

Tax disc

Don't suppose I will ever see "Historic Vehicle" on a tax disc of mine anymore due to the recent changes. So good old eBay are selling replicas which look quite authentic - this is going in the windscreen,
