 |

These hubcaps are brand new old stock items I found in my garage attic.
I must have purchased them in the distance past.
I cannot remember what vehicles they fit.
Can anyone help me identify them.

| Going by the common logo, I would say they were supplied to the sales representatives car fleet of a camera manufacturer. |

The Austin one is either:
1: A55 MK2 Cambridge
2: Austin A30/35/40
3: Austin 1100.
I can't measure them at the moment but I'll have a look this evening. If they are A55 MK2 I may be interested as I only have two on my car (and two Morris Oxford ones).

Yeah, a cheap shot on so many levels. I can imagine how hard it would be not to get a reflection.
Call me obsessed, but those hubcaps without a logo - I'm thinking caravan? |

First reminds of Rootes hub caps
Third? Ive seen similar on VW's but the 'moon's' were often used for custom cars, or American
Fourth reminds me of Fords
Shame there all too small I need a couple of 9-7/8 or 10 inch. 'moons' |
