I bought them for less than the starting bid after the auction.

Picked them up yesterday - maybe not as good as described (as usual from EBay I guess) but good enough.

When you consider how difficult it is to find them now and the only other ones at the moment have an asking price of £245.00 each, it was not bad despite the 300 mile round trip to get them - gave the MK V11 a good run though!

I will get centre caps made, I have one as a pattern.

For every one elses interest, despite the Centra number being the same, there are TWO different styles of wheel - some have a centre cap with the fixing bolt right at the outside edge and a locating pin opposite, others have the fixing bolt a bit more in to the centre and no locating pin.

Also, the first style of cap will not physically fit into the second style of wheel.

Only found this out when I tried to fit the spare set of centre caps I have - don't you just love cars sometimes!

Thanks for the heads up though Jonathan,

David
