I know Mike, I saw it at the show at Huntingdon when Tim had his valver pipes repaired in the display square and have never forgotten how good they looked

I don't know if those wheels sold but they were certainly pricey..

I like the Gutmann wheels because it was period to the car and at 7" wide filled the arches perfectly, yet subtle compared to the standard alloy.

Looks like these may have been an option for the BX? From this german catalogue anyway.

Indeed, there is a member on here with a set of two of those. Very cool

Edit:
Todd has at least one set:

I can't recall if he also has a yellow mk1 break with white "swift 2's".

Edit2: Yes indeed he does, the same set I think.
