Well as I am away in Vietnam, I thought I would do a bit more interet and eBay shop (retail therapy for the thought of another 37 day in the middle of the sea).

1) Dunlop Style Wheel (Triumph TR4/5 type) Puchase off ebay for a good price.

2) Wheel Paint (inc Primer / Paint / Lacquer). For use on my Miglia and Range Rover Classic 2-Door

9) Tyres

Decide to go with Dunlop SP Sport BluResponses, ordered
195/65 R15 for the Front
205/65 R15 for the Rear
10) Also been thinking about a grille logo, I have though about adapting the Maserati Trident in to a M for Miglia / Michael etc (the L is for my daughter Lucy), need a little work.

Worst thing is I only went on to buy a Jaguar V12 engine and end up with these. Well early Christmas presents to myself, hope the mrs doesn't find out till after Chrsitmas.

I'd suggest you cut off your Ebay account, before your wife cuts off a key part of your anatomy! :eek:

Good luck, Paul. :)

I was actually thinking that, and the worst part is I hadn't been drinking.

Love the XJ6C! I had a Series 3 XJ6 'back in the day' and it was a stunningly beautiful car!
Badly tuned and only doing 8mph the way i was driving it, but nevertheless a lovely car! :)
