Spitfire Spitfire Hub Caps

Share this page

If you're a purist, you'll avoid these. They resemble the originals but pale in comparison. It appears these are adapted -- with a not too distinct center pressing -- from hubcaps that are much more rounded than the originals, possibly the same hubcaps used (with a plain center) on the MGA and on the Standard 10 (and Triumph 10). It's not all that difficult to find good or occasionally even NOS original caps, which have a much more sharply stamped center.

If you compare the ones in the auction to the one in this picture, I think you'll see the difference.
 
Thank You. Great looking car.

I want to be pure but as time drags on my purity is waning.

Thanks...Dennis
