£1300 including 4 16" spiders without tyres as fitted to tuscans.

The spiders you saw on a cerb are likely to be 18"

Including the AP brakes and VAT?


4 machined hubs with mounting ring to take the 5 stud Spider wheel
4 brand new wheel bearing kits
20 longer wheel studs
FRONT BIG brake upgrade with 300 x 28 vented grooved and drilled discs with mounting bell and bracket and of course the 4 pot AP/TVR calipers.(The calipers are used from low mileage cars and of course the disc/mounting bell and bracket are NEW)
Rear NEW disc drilled and mounting face re drilled to take 5-stud Spider pattern.
braided front hoses.
4 used Spider wheels in Charcoal or normal grey paint. ( The wheels are of course in good/mint condition)
4 used tyres with plenty of thread. One set with four tyres/ the other Iám looking for the front ones. Tyre size 225/45/126 and 245/45/16 OR 225/50/16 all around. The tyres are Bridgestone SO2
4 spigot rings to adapt Sierra hub to Spider wheel centre

The above was quoted to me at £1500 but i already had tyres and braided hoses and i opted for a cheaper hub conversion which reduced the price to £1300.

Comes from a private individual so therefore does not attract VAT.

That explains it. The TVR kit is all new parts and includes a spare set of wheels (to replace the tyres which they don't like to source). The hub come assembled.

The wheels are done yes Antony Thanks again for all your help with these

The car is not yet finished though, it's still awaiting me to fit the engine (which is half built), it has taken a back seat recently.
