Re: What going on with the wheels
They're very odd. They look like steel wheels with "Halibrand" style wheel trims.
Never seen those before.

Re: What going on with the wheels
Blimey, that's just a mess, don't know where to start. What a lot of money for a... what is it? A Kirkham? With horrible wheels, something badly wrong with the suspension, and air conditioning? "The only Street Roadster 289 to be fitted with an original powerplant", and then a list of things that make it non-original? It might have an 'original powerplant', but judging by the position of the gearstick it's got a toploader, not a T10.
Oh well, it has 'halogen bulbs', so it must be OK.

Re: What going on with the wheels
Yes, good point - reminds me of what they've done to the Mini. As the owner of a MkII 'S', don't get me started on that topic...Maxakarudy wrote:Must be the Clubman version

Re: What going on with the wheels
Sorry, Dale, I was so busy spluttering I never got around to looking at pic 14. You're right - what on earth is going on there? There's a rim behind - can they really be wheel trims? Unbelievable!!

Re: What going on with the wheels
Its not the clubman version its the Paceman or off road version!
I'm surprised its not listed with Citroen Hydrostatic suspension, how far off the ground is that.
I reckon that they miss interpreted "spinner"s and the whole wheel trim actually spins when you drive, "like well kool innit"
