An absolutely beautiful dog! But then I'm a caninophile.

The 'deep dish' van wheels are always in extremely high demand, I'm afraid. You may be impossibly lucky and come across a pair, but expect to pay a pretty penny for it. I myself haven't got a set. :( The other types you describe don't ring a bell, do you mean the normal Minor wheels that go on the other models? Those are getting to be a tad rare too, but they're more accessible and less pricey than the van wheels.

Has it not got wheels at all, or is it just on bad ones? If it has got wheels but they're in bad shape, I'd suggest getting them repaired, unless they've got a serious split or something.

Show us pix of the van sometime?

I've got a set of 14" MGB dish wheels going spare. (They're pretty deep)

Someone on the MG forum said they wanted them, but has not responded to e-mails asking him when he is likely to collect them.

I don't know if they'd do for what you want, but if so let me know.

:)

MGB wheels are of course 4.5" PCD - and therefore don't fit Minors - except the very early ones of course!

Thanks 'bmcecosse', looks like they won't be any good to him then. A pity as I'm giving them away - now I may have to stick them on fleaBay.

You have a great 'signature' - love the SU!
