| Extra Information | |||
| Other comments | The Crayford Convertible and Cabriolet have been factory fitted with silver-painted wire wheels. Over 100 Convertibles were manufactured and around 60 are still known to exist. Only 12 Cabriolets have ever been manufactured - 6 are still running. 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.
