Classic F1 wheel query

[Netuar]

Morning all,

I co-own a 1964 F1 car and we are trying to figure what type of wheels it used back in period. I'm unable to upload a picture as I've just joined the forum, can I forward a picture to another member to upload to this thread?

Any help would be very much appreciated!

Thanks.

what is it??
BRM? Cooper Climax?? Lotus?? Ferrari?? Honda? Porsche?? I don't think there where loads of entrants in 64, but these do seem to be the main protagonists. I am sure there are some historians that could narrow the search down...

You could try emailing the photo to me - and I’ll have a go.

The easiest thing, surely, is to make contact with other owners of similar cars and ask them. And you could also contact major restorers of such cars: Rod Jolley of Coopers, for instance, and Classic Team Lotus of, er, Lotus. A trip to Goodwood next weekend for the Revival and a chat to owners there would also be beneficial. Any period F1 restorer would probably help, even if they don't know the car or even the marque that well. In this specialised area, those in the know are very helpful.

Thanks Jim but as a new member it won't allow me to email you.

It's a one off: Netuar Peugeot made in South Africa. I'll post a picture as soon as I'm able to.

The only period photo's I can find show them to be fitted with steel wheels in period. Easy to get made, if you known the PCD and offset etc.

Ask on the Autosport Nostalgia forum - an extraordinary source of information , often first hand

I would suggest contacting Weller Wheels, with a picture and sizes of what you need, they still manufacture steel wheels for motorsport use.

I recall that name Netuar from 'Sun on the Grid' ('the' most comprehensive book ever on GP & Endurance Racing in South Africa) by Stewart & Reich. I jumped at the chance of reprinting this 'large' book many years after its original 1967 publication.

I'd never heard of the Netuar marque before which caught my attention. Name is reverse of founder's christian name 'Rauten' Hartman.

A very quick browse shows it competed in the 6th South African.GP held on 1 Jan 1960, and the 9-Hr Endurance race.

Just noted Wiki says 'all' races the driver was Rauten.
Looks like that is not correct, as book lists J. ('Johan') A. Hartman as driver.
Relationship, I don't know.

Might have a re-read when I get some time.
