The steering wheel is causing an OCD flare up!
If you're only going to use three bolts, at least space them evenly!!!
Having said that, it is a fantastic wheel!

It's finally finished! Here's a quick 4k Video for anyone interested -     What do we all think? |

Lovely, but I think you should match the front wheel arch's with the rears ...

looks fantastic.
I always think of scimitars as quite large cars, it looks tiny between those 2 SUV's though!

Yeah it's surprising how small they are. The later SE6s have a longer wheelbase, but SE5s and earlier aren't very big at all.
Although saying that, I always thought of my XJ40 as absolutely massive but it's about the size of an E-Class Coupe nowadays, except it's lower. Modern cars are big man.
Oh, what wheels do you have? I think the stud pattern is the same as my T2000 (4x114.3). Was looking for a good set of 15"+ wheels so I can get tyres wider than 195...

Thanks Guys,
The wheels are weller formula ford's in 15" however I'm using hubcentric alloy spacers/pcd adaptors. I think they are 4 x 108.
Modern cars truly are massive in comparison.

I love it. Great to see something a little different with a scimitar!

I was a Scimitar dealer in the 1970s and had one of these for my use and loved the car. The Ford V6 had planty of grunt and with 2 speed overdrive we had 6 speeds effectively. Best I saw on the clack was 135 mph.
How does this compare with the Honda engine, I am not familiar with that model.
I am really impressed with the job you have done and the car looks great. TT |
