Beautiful! simply beautiful Dave.

I remember seeing one of these down at my local car auctions, it had white tyre walls and looked stunning.

Do owners add this type of tyre, or is it certain models that have them as standard? I suppose its quite hard to source tyres with white tyre walls these days...

Originally on crossply tyres but now sits on radials with discs on the front ( cannot see them) and a servo hidden under the floor.
Whitewall tyres were an extra but you can have them done for about £45 per tyre. Hopefully get that done this year but just spent quite a bit having the seats reupholstered so the inside matches the finish of the exterior. Since this picture I have had the carpets replaced ( thats another story!!) Still need to have the doorcards done that's next on the list.

Looks like they have done a fantastic job on the reupholstered seats, and hopefully it will ride much better with the new tyres as well, and stop a lot better with discs.

Looking very special indeed now that it is in your hands
