This wheel came from a car my dad had many years ago, and has been sitting in the garage taking up a modest amount of space.

I don't think taking it to the tip would be to do it justice, as I understand there is some demand for old mini wheels, and it would be a shame for it to go to waste.

I believe it came of an early Cooper S - would this be correct?

Any help correctly identifying it would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Felix

Yes, the wheel is a standard 4J x 10 Mini Cooper 'S' steel wheel, the hub cap/trim is a standard 850/998 Mini trim from around '63 - '66 HTH

Thanks for the helpful reply - I suspected something like that, as I had never seen those trims associated with a Cooper S in my limited knowledge of Minis.
