Are those wheels standard?

[P5BNij]

Chromed version of the standard Elan wheels I'd say.

Great pictures of the old Peppers of Nantwich branch, early 60's at a guess, I used to cycle past on my way to primary school in the town, IIRC the alms houses in the photo were moved when the site was redeveloped. ( V late 60's/ early 70's ? )
The last time I was there there were loads of houses on the ground where the storage compound/
workshops stood.Brings back memories of happy,carefree childhood days!
Thanks for posting these.

OK not a period photo but a period video, and staying with E-Types and Bolton, but spot the red series 1 FHC E-Type coming into view around the 6:08 mark in this Bygone Bolton video:

Some old photos of a Staffordshire garage group.

Talking to my mate at the weekend, if I've got the chronology correct, Peppers is where he traded in his Humber Sceptre for an AC Ace. And got some cash back.

I hadn't spotted that was the Nantwich branch, when I first knew that place it was Oliver Rix, then James Edwards, and now blocks of flats apartments.
