Subject: [Spits] Early Spitfire Hubcaps
Hey Guys,
I came across a very nice set of four early Spitfire hubcaps. You know the
ones that say "SPITFIRE". They cost me $182 but they are all pristine.
Just a few marks & scratches. I suppose I need to find a worthy low milelage,
original car for them or they will just become garage art. You know it
seems to me that those early cars are very scarce for some reason. Anyway the
hub caps are very cool.

Darrell, are they the ones shown on the car in this brochure:

If so, they're actually only for the 1969 US model. FYI, they're actually a
"redo" of a Dodge Dart wheel cover, circa 1964!
And yes, it seems that all "round-tail" Spitfires are a bit scarce,
particularly unmodified originals!

Herald engine with wings.
