Found these Vauxhall wheel trims in the shed when we moved in. Any ideas what they are from? My guess was Cavalier but can't seem to find a match.

I almost posted a Belmont picture but thought that might be getting my geek on a bit too far wink

There was a time when it was hard to pass a hedge that didn't have one of these wheel trims in it.

Thanks.

And for the reminder of the Astra/Nova Belmont, classic hand-me down first cars, back when the cool kids had a Nova SR or an AX GT.

Beaten to it - I was thinking Belmont I saw it.
On another note I bet they are 13 inch diameter so would probably only fit a kids buggy now!
I must be getting old!rofl

The 1980s seem like another planet when seen from this distance. wink

Not sure where you got that from (stock image?) but the Cav still exists and is alive and well on the MID. How often do you see a Cav these days?
