I like a pepperpot, and I like the MG Logo. The car is expected to fetch £6,000 to £7,000, wheels included...

I used to have those pepperpots on my first MG Metro... Only problem with them was that under sustained heavy braking the front wheels would get hot and expand enough to pop the centre out.

During my time in Cyprus I could almost guarantee loosing at least one descending down to Limassol from the top of Mt. Troodos. If I was lucky I'd spot one on the side of the road lost by a previous MG Metro driver...

An overlooked detail
temp2.png
Two tone - Coral pink / Urban grey
These two-tone paint jobs are included if you go
for the top-spec Design trim. Easily the quirkiest
colour combination you can get for the BYD Dolphin,
this option gives you that pastel pink shade for the bodywork,
while the bonnet and roof are a silvery grey.
The same effect is applied to the wheels.
It looks a bit like a Battenberg cake...

Give me the blue any day... Coral pink indeed :twisted: The colour name reminds me of the colour of something back in the 70s and 80s made of thin latex...

Look how far down the list this thread has slipped. Good job I spotted this today.

I think that is what is known as a Rubery Owen Style wheel.
:-D

The conscientious FCF thread reader won't have to wait long to work out what car the wheel is adorning, and the avid picture enlarger will be there already.

Definitely a C4 Gibbo, can't remember the reg but pretty new maybe even a 24. Not sure if the e-C4 has the same options on the wheels.

It was on Goodyear tyres, again not sure if they come out from the factory with them (looks like they do...they must get them cheaper than Michelins now!)

Its a Peugeot this time. I'll give you that.
On Nexen Tyres.

Not the finest definition on the photography. I liked the car it was on. Very nicely presented in Obsession Blue. That should give it away.
