...I am watching with interest incase I suddenly acquire some money and our friend has had enough...that would be crazy Unreal said:
Needs a couple of tyres and then I'll unearth the car. Might not be for a few days though as I don't know how long the tyres will take to arrive and then I'll need to take the wheels to get them fitted. In the meantime, does any of this look like you last saw it?
That looks as I remember Delilahs engine bay. Mark always likes to pile in the bling and colour... Unreal said:

She looks so unloved...what a mess..thought I would come on to see if you got bored yet as I have started saving...

Cannot believe how unloved she has been...jesus...honestly...looks like the cruddy rad cap is leaking and possibly the overflow outlet...the pipe looks rotten..crikey why has she been so unloved...breaks my heart...
I bought her like that. She has been kept inside since then and just haven't had the time to do anything. I'm still waiting for a couple of new tyres to turn up and once they're fitted I can have a better look.The guy I bought her from kept her much as I did AFAIK so not sure when the neglect happened. There are a mixture of tyres on there, two decent Nankangs, one knackered Firestone and then a lingong plus an OK spare, so I have two new Nankangs incoming.
My default tyre is the MPS but not available in 14". Not much is!

the original speed rating is V, 205/60R14 in V arent exsiting anymore new. but the V Rating is part of the original supply and some insurances may refuse to pay when you have an insurance-case. so you using H-Tyres means driving-around un-insured.
this said.....its difficult to find a 14" tyre with similar (legal) circumference as alternative.
by chanigng to 15" wheels you are leaving the path of originality and depends in which country you live you cannot fit a random wheel on the car....the wheel must be type-approved.

Long time no reply. I have been away sorting out crap for various people so no time for cars. Plus it's freezing! I need to move a few cars around to get the TVR out so it may be put off until the forecast and daytime temps improve. I have now got four good tyres on the car though so assuming it starts, moving it won't be too difficult.Hopefully there is something here that will fit...

Insurance isn't an issue. I refer any changes to my insurer and running the car with the NS2 and Falken 14 inchers is fine.this said.....its difficult to find a 14" tyre with similar (legal) circumference as alternative.
