Think these are what are called 'Turbine' design; at least that's what I thought when I bought the car in 1980.
They clearly need refurbing but are not in bad condition anyway. One tyre is actually OK and would well do as a spare. I think they should be worth in region of £20 each or make an offer. Best to collect or I will get a delivery charge if asked. Regards, Frank. |

Looks as if nobody is interested. I will accept pretty well any reasonable offer, although I appreciate that transport is an issue. Otherwise they are going in the skip. Shame as it would prefer somebody to have use of them.

They are worth that scrap I believe although I guess there are not many metal recycling facilities in Farnborough :-)

When I was buying Scorpius I searched the interweb and they seemed to sell at a low price. You just need a buyer who appreciates the value rather than the usual lowish price. I paid a bit more than the highest comparable price I could find.
They are good wheels. Easy on the eye. They don't distract from the 240s iconic design. Indeed they complement the 240 degign. They look especially good on the saloon 240. And they are said to give a particularly comfortable ride. As for me I've got Scorpius on the 240SE and six spare Scorpius. I'm getting good second hand tyres fitted to the spares as I find them. So that I'll have a full set of spare wheels and tyres in case of need. I'd like to have winter tyres on the spare set. In time people will turn away from the Stalinist industrial era Virgo design ... ![]() . |

I can see that they would look really nice polished and lacquered or perhaps chromed?
Anyway, if they'll make such a scrap value maybe that's the way to go. Quote:
