Looks interesting, and probably a good base for a nice car

Mrs Bounce has already said no.

and amazing to see a light blue mk 1 that hasn't turned white.

Looks immaculate, must have been stored inside its whole life. A real gem. I can't believe an ugly Mini Marcos fetches 8K while this one will probably be less than 2K.

Sold for £971.

Can anyone advise what wheels this car is running on?

I am looking for some preferably white / off white- with silver hub caps (think old school mini wheels) for the girlfriends mini these look almost on the money! And without having to do an expensive 'downgrade' to 7.5" dics!

Standard 10" steel mini wheels by the look of it

[lankyjames]

To my eyes they look bigger, 12's maybe, esp with how big the centre is/ how well they fill the arches, nevermind will have to keep on the hunt!

[Stuart]

You're probably right, standard steel 12" mini wheels with chrome caps then?

[MrBounce]

Those chrome hubcaps look like they're from a Vauxhall HA Viva - not sure about the wheels though - it's a bit difficult to tell from that picture. They might be Mini 12" steels or possibly Viva wheels, but I don't know what the Viva PCD is.

Hillman Imp maybe? They were 12" too, and I think some Imp variants had wider wheels as standard - we used to have a couple of Imps and some of the wheels were definitely wider. Apart from the width, their design was identical to the narrower ones, which is why I thought they were factory fitted.

And no, I never measured them, but I'm almost certain the PCD was the same as the MIni's.

I think Datsun Sunny wheels may also fit, pretty sure they were 12" too. Although with both them and Imp wheels, good luck trying to find any without rust!
