This is bloody cool, although I'd swap the Minilites for Slot Mags.
I hate those alloys, why does everyone insist on putting them on things!?

Presumably because they like them. I think minilites are about my favourite alloy wheel design on older cars.

I think they're one of the best period correct rims available.

That's awesome....couldn't the water pipe welding have been replaced with a bit of hose???
Didn't spot that the first time round. Now can't help staring at it.

When basically everything else on the car is TIGed to perfection, it rather upsets my OCD.

Still want it, mind.

I can't stand them personally, I think they ruin any car they're put on such is my dislike towards them, in saying that if we all liked the same thing the world would be quite boring

They are a bit common but that's no bad thing because they suit the car.

I don't hate Minilites, but I prefer most other period alloys. Some nice, deep slots would look best on that B, I think, and the Porsche ought to have Fuchs.

I doubt it, seeing as everything's on British plates and they don't all seem to be big money builds.

I think that's gorgeous. I'd have anything but Fuchs, if only to be different.

Not sure about this. Think it's the hipster angle being copied from Mr Walker (unless this came 1st?) that is making me despair.

It's a bit too chintzy.

Awesome,those Minilites also work on the 3 series above but not so good on the MG.

I do like Mx5 speedsters. Awfy tempting to give one a go!

'scuse the rubbish iPhone snap, it was cold and wet, a typical summer's day at Donington... here's an MX-5 Speedster.



I think this looks fantastic. I've got some pro pictures too, the interior was very nicely done too.
Looks great, where's the rest of the pics then!?
