hi all
i was looking at a 75 b the other day that had the badges and originally
was green(sort of an olive green not brg). what i found interesting was it
didn't have rostyles but alloy wheels( not le wheels) which were stamped
made in england. the car was originally a calif model so i am told. the
owner said the wheels had a centerpiece but these are missing.
is this the same typoe of model ross refers to??
