Morris Minor Van wide wheels.

Post by 246gts »

I have a set of van wheels which i bought from a forum member many years ago and have never used.
As part of my garage clearout I am looking to sell these but I know the first question I will be asked is "are they stamped LP917 etc etc"
The answer is I dont know, where is this stamp to be found, if it exists, and would powder coating possible have covered it over??
Please help

Dave

If you are going to stick them on ebay show a tape measure across the width ;)

The LP917 (or similar) is/should be stamped on one of the flat areas where the hubcap mountings are

Almost certainly, put a tape measure to them.

Thanks all, yes these are the ones you sold me Dennis.
I looked closely in the place described and you can just make out the LP917 under the powder coating.
Will probably put them on eBay this week unless anyone has any offers?
Thanks
