Subject: Re: Chrome GB Number-plate
Christian good work,

I missed a good auction for 4 unused wheel trims:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/110892441992?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2649

See this pictures, like new and sold for 46 pounds with partial original Ace box, I will be more careful in future..

They were manufactured by Cornercraft of Coventry who also manufactured other forms of wheel embellishers as well.

Mine are good, but need a fair bit of elbow grease to get the shine back on them, will have to pass them to one of my two assistants for polishing..

Ideally, I would like to find four replacement chrome hub covers, mine all require re-chroming, any suggestions for these.

But the GB plate with simple oval surround, is a hard one to find, and will keep looking, I don't want a full oval plate, just plain and simple as yours is.

I note that they were an optional extra on MGA's, MG Y type, Wolsey, etc etc

Looks like a 1950's advert, and this was a fair bit of money of money to spend on this extra...
