New Granny wheels

My search for a decent looking set of retro wheels for my MK1 has finally ended 
Managed to get hold of this set of 4, 14" Melber/Penta alloys with Firestone Firehawk 225/60/14 tyres for the pricely sum of £50 
I reckon they really suit the old girl & give her a bit of attitude....

Very, very nice car & wheels JC.
Can't remember the last time I saw a Mk1 on the road.
I was followed for a few miles by a Mk2 last weekend but you don't often see them now.

Star sign is Scorpio !
Sierra XR4i's are great...especially when fitted with 4WD

Oh happy days
The old girl's just passed her MOT this afternoon .....32 years old & still fit enough to grace the public highway
Now what did I do with that bottle of Dom Perignon ?
