Extra Information | |||
Other comments | Most of the original model were fitted with peg drive wheels, some cars were fitted with wheels wider than the standard 6". The wheels used at Le Mans were of the same pattern as the Dunlop Magnesium wheels for the lightweight Jaguar E-Type. Always check the history of the vehicle to ensure that there have been no modifications to the running gear. Hubs/splines, spinners and nuts remain the same, unless noted otherwise, regardless of which wheel is fitted. We also stock wire wheel maintenance accessories such as our Cleaning Kit (Refills available), Cleaning Brush, Degreaser and Tyre Foam.
