Cheers, Mick.

But yours is also a fairly late one Mick, and they might have just been using up what they had in the parts bin at the time. And yours are ten spoke still rather than the more common 8. Though I have heard from a reliable source (claims to have been at the meeting that decided to go ahead with the Games) that the whole purpose of the Game was just to use up what was in the parts bin anyway. This contradicts previous belief that they were trying to compete with Toybota in the recreational market. He claims that was not even discussed.

Are these them?

Have a set of 5, great condition, good rubber, nothing hard core off road but ok for tar. Most importantly, no rust. 10 spoke, welded around outer, NOT sunraysias.

Yep, those look like the ones. It's interesting how many of them are still around. I think they are actually a Sunraysia rim, as in an early model made to order for Landrover by the Sunraysia company. They are definitely an Australian wheel so they may well have been used on other vehicles as well.

[timj
I started out looking for 2 more rims, for my game, and thanks to Peter Hesford AKA wosanin I will end up having about 11. Bit of a worry. Apart from that I am only 3 steps away from a complete restoration over 7 years The tropical and roof need repainting ,dashboard needs recovering and I have to finish the carpeting which I already have got from England. After 5 Landies This one is the best. No overdrive but Rangerover diffs it sits on 100ks with no trouble. Will keep in touch because I would like to get a full number of how many of us are left
Regards BobQUOTE=Timj;1545013]Hi Bob,

Welcome, I'm one of the ones with a Game here (actually two so it's even better

) . Great to see another one on the forum.

All the information we have is in the sticky post at the top of this series 3 forum. Have a look through it and if you have any more questions please ask. Put the details of the car up there too if you want. Would love to see some photos as well.

I can't help with the wheels, I have managed to pick up a couple of spares but don't know where there are any more at the moment. Just keep your ears to the ground and let people know you are looking. I think here were some either on e-bay or in the markets here about 6 months ago.

Bob - something is happening to your quotes. Looks like a cut and paste rather than the usual gray box with the quote inside.
