Thanks to "Ollie" not "OLLIE" I have some pictures of my car from when he and his brother owned it.

And before you all tell me, yes I prefer the BBS Style 5's as well :)

Yeah Boris I've seen that one in pictures - looks bloody nice, especially in red.

History? Wow where to begin. I've got a full folder including original receipt from Coombes Johnson. Might put it all up some other time.

385,000km on her now too ;)

Looking nice Simon, as already mentioned, love the wheels haha.

Question regarding your rim sizes and lowering. So you have 10" rears and how big are your fronts? Is your car lowered? If so what springs?

I now have 9.5" rears and 8.5" fronts and am worried about clearance when turning etc when I finally get around to buying new springs etc.

Cheers.

You've never had anything that has been 10" Simon.

Car looks great. Get Turbine II's that's a real wheel.

Creaver, as long as you don't go beyond the 25mm drop that the M5 suspension had, you won't have a problem with clearance. Actually, they had 9" rear and 8" front, so on 2nd thoughts. WTF do I know.
