Ok, what's this one.
For extra points, how many makes/models was this type of wheel fitted to? I can only think of five offhand.

I can think of Jaguar "D", MGA Twin Cam, Arnolt-Bristol, Cooper-Jaguar, Connaught. Did Vanwall use them also? Not sure.
Ah Brian's back in form !
I reckon its a D type jag in the pic but no idea on teh other cars.
The only photograph I have of a D type was taken a couple of years ago at Victor Harbour and the "knock on" hubs seem to be different, but perhaps there were different models!

Had to post that picture as it is my favourite motor car ever.
I do agree about the wheels being used by Jag but that rear guard looks the wrong shape for a D or E type. More MG Aish in my mind.

Is it a replica? More of them about than real ones.
Well done!Quote:

Yep it's an A.
The 5 I had in mind for the the Dunlop brakes & wheels combination were
1. The D Type of course.
2. Its roadgoing cousin - XKSS?
3. Gordon Keeble
4. MGA Twin Cam
5. MGA Deluxe.
It's the MGA Twin Cam I've got. 10.75" discs all round, unassisted. All the part numbers are Jag stuff.
Only the D type & XKSS had 3 eared knockoffs so far as I know, the MGs certainly have 2 eared.
