That very car was, or is, owned by a LOC member from Surrey.

Sorry guys, but how can you take seriously a car that has wheels on the wrong way round? I mean, what else has been put on the wrong way round that you can't see?

The devil is in the detail as they say, and this seller clearly doesn't have much of an eye (or care) for it.

........... how are the wheels the wrong way round ? ............. so far as I can make out they only fit one way and are a bit different being early Mk1 too.

Er, no, the Mk1 wheels have spokes which slant backwards from the direction of rotation. On this example, the front wheels have been fitted on the wrong sides. (Having had a Mk1, this was the first thing I noticed!)

Couple of other things too - the radio antenna looks non-OEM, and I'd be a bit concerned about the lay of the mileometer digits - i.e. uneven.

Here's another one boys and girls you might not have seen before.

Great video Mike.

A bit of advice - do NOT read the comments underneath - Someone called Shan Mirza really needs his head checked...... :megaangry:

The wheels were on the wrong way, the spokes were pointing backwards in the correct fit and the tyre had to be fitted so they ran in the correct direction , basically this meant turning the tyres to suit the direction of the wheel spokes when fitting them

I had to get my tyre people to refit new tyres when they put them on the wrong way and they were not pleased.

How sad, I think he needs his drugs and living on the other side of the pond hasn't helped him. Not too many agreed with him either. Mike.
