This is a real attention getter and is one car you are not likely to see very often. I have had a lot of safe fun with this car and have decided to purchase another interesting sportscar.

Have original frame and MGA engine and transmission, which can be added depending upon the price offered and making shipping arrangements.

Ballamy wheels are hard enough to find, but Ballamy hubcaps are as rare as rocking horse droppings – so when a friend tracked down the company that made them for Leslie Ballamy, I had to have some and, not wanting to be selfish, commissioned a batch. They are of superb quality with beautiful, flawless chrome plating. These are likely to be the last new Ballamy hubcaps available ever and stocks are very limited, so don’t hang about.

Ballamy supplied two different types of hubcap – very domed and slightly less domed. These are the slightly less domed ones and in a few cases where halfshafts are on the long side, may not fit on the rear wheels without a thin spacer between the wheel and the brake drum. We have had a batch of 4mm aluminium spacers professionally made to overcome this (also giving you 8mm more rear track without the need for longer wheel studs!).

Spacer (if required): £10 or £18 pair (only if bought with hubcaps, as this is less than cost price!)

The Ballamy wheel illustrated is not for sale – in fact if anyone has some spares, please let me know!
