Irmscher wheels a la manta 400 road car were made by raid, but the centre on that leads me to say mountney

I have to agree with you sturge, looks like a mountney one.

And having looked again, it's a mountney boss too, so I'm sticking with that :)

I'm pretty sure it's not a Mountney, although the boss looks the same.

afaik the only wheels to use such a big pcd on the bolt holes are mountney and moto-lita, moto lita wheels tend to be more delicate and pretty though

It's very similar to my momo but obviously that's not got a Vauxhall emblem and has little notches at 2 and 10 o'clock. The stitchings the same style though. No help really lol

Anorack you say. I used to have one of these, but mine did not have the vaux emblem on.

I don't even need to click on that to know it's the 'dear god' moment lol

The best bit is that resulted in a puncture, cracked wheel and broken suspension, yet it didn't exactly slow him down much!

the ford escort on the 76 scottish rally with the tatered diff is great too.. they flag down a bloke in a capri & borrow his

there is a clip from the irish rally championship that I would dearly love to see... the driver is flat in top in an escort wrc, the co driver is begging him to slow down!!! Any ideas???

I know the clip you're on about but can't think of the details

As for stealing parts off road cars... I marshalled from a very young age and remember it being common practice in the good old days lol
