So I've been after a certain set of wheels for almost 4 years now, came close last year but it wasn't meant to be. So while browsing Ebay at the weekend I saw a 1275 GT wearing said wheels. I emailed the vendor asking if he'd consider selling them separately but to no avail. After getting a few more details the idea of buying the car for the wheels didn't seem so silly. so I did. so I present to you my new to me Austin Morris 1979 Mini 1275 GT. Sat on a full set of 5 12x5" GKN Silverstone Wheels
The body has been repaired in the past, and has stood up well although they weren't treated after so lots of surface rust. Plan is to get it roadworthy and use it, although it hasn't been on the road for 14 years so a bit to do!
Oh and of course I think the wheels look perfect, but they'll be treated properly. they'll be painted and shod in new tyres as soon as possible. to do them justice.
Didn't last long.
only picked up the car last night, and the last picture was about 2 hours ago. wish me luck!
Arches gone, not a fan personally.
