I am thinking about selling my set of 5 Turbovec style alloy wheels complete with 165 x 70 x 13 inch like new Bridgestone tyres.
The wheels have Sunbeam centre caps.
Wheels would have to be collected from Milton Keynes or Bristol area.
Offers invited

Hi Thomas
I recently fitted a set of Rostyles to the Alpine & idealy i would like to keep the Turbovecs so i could have a change when i fancied a modded retro look.
However i need the money so may be forced to sell them.

Heres a picture i've just taken in my garage with the Alpine now fitted with the Rostyles.

The Alloy wheels have now sold to a guy called Andy from Harrogate in Yorkshire.
He has recently bought a left hand drive Rapier originally from the USA, so its badged as an Alpine GT.

Here's a picture of it.



He is going to fit them on the Alpine.
Does anyone know if its the only Alpine GT Fastback in the UK?
I've invited him to join the forum & the club for advice & spares.
Are there any Yorkshire members on here?
