Hi,

I'm hoping that someone can identify the make and model of this wheel. It may have been used for racing, if that helps, and is definately from the 1960's.
Many thanks for any help you can give me.

Well done Roscobbc! That must be the quickest reply ever, as I only put the question up a moment ago.
I've Googled pictures and you are absolutely correct. Now I need to find out if they are alloy or magnesium.
Many thanks.

J A Pearce were based in Southall...

Bought some wheels off them myself back in the day...

Fairly certain they were cast locally...
