Zoomy color combo! Gawd I love those seats!

Matt - those are Rudge wheels, which were put on some Jags, Mercedes sports and race cars, and Porsche 356s. It's a knock-off hub on a steel wheel, and they're actually kind of heavy. But real ones are worth a ton I'm told. My old Seattle co-worker's 356 had them on from new. The car is still in semi-rusted pieces, and I told him sell the wheels and pay for the paint!

This might get better traction if you started a new thread in classified, it'll get kind of buried here in the BaT thread.

I don't remember who made them, but Twin-Cam MGAs had knockoff steelies too.

It's my understanding the Jag wheels were alloy, but the Twin Cam wheels were steel pin drive.
There's an outfit over Yonder making 'replicas' from alloy, with a spline hub adapter that converts the mounting system to the pin drive configuration. Kind of a long way around for the look, in my mind.
And a bit spendy, something like $2500 for the kit.

A fair amount of rust for a west coast car.

Hemmings, not BaT. Very late 1969 122 2-door in the Netherlands. Not in love with the Grampa visor, but I'm sure that comes off.
Tidy, some crazing in the seats, dash pad peeling up, and only a single SU (?).

Also several 1800s, a 544, and some newer cars.
