Top one's a Cosmic, not that rare, but must be worth more than scrap. The bottom one is a Dunlop. Again, not too rare, but worth more than melting for ingots.   |

Close but no cigar on the bottom one. Very similar to a Dunlop D1 Like this  BUT NOT It is infact an Exaction alloy, like this  See the difference? Profile of the spokes is different (better observed from the side I'm afraid) and the holes are slots not triangles. As it happens, the wheel pictured above is a single one I have down the shed. Came in a "set" with 3 D1's and has been sat looking for a partner for years! SO if you fancy selling it, let me know, where are you based? I wanna make it shiny and fit it to...  |

Yeah, my mistake....I've never heard of Exaction alloys before. You can see how they can get mixed up, eh?
Changing the subject, when are you gonna start a thread for all of your other SS1's?
Being a former SS1 owner, I'd love to know more.

Oh, I shall do so in good time, when I get my a*se back in gear and get some of my projects rolling again, rather than just languishing.
Must be a man of good taste, 944 and SS1
I had my fling with the Porsche mark a while back, 2 x 924, 3 x 944 and a 928 S4
Fantastic cars and I will have another, a 944 S2 or Turbo I think.
Anything with pop up lights does it for me really...

Yes, I love pop-up lights too. 
I would still have my Scimitar SS1 now, if I hadn't started a family. But with only two seats just wasn't practicle for me to keep it, hence me getting a 2+2 (The Porsche).
When I owned the SS1, they had such a bad reputation and were so unloved. But I think my Scimitar was one of the exceptions.....I used it daily and it didn't suffer with all the problems that other SS1's seemed to suffer with. (Electrics, etc).
Any that it did, I modified it to overcome the problems happening again. That was in the days that you could climb over cars in the scrapyard looking for bits that may fit.
I really miss that car and it's the one that if I had the chance I would buy back.
Can't wait to see your Scimitar thread and find out what got you into them, Kev.
