Wheel ID

Spotted this alloy whilst in Ireland and it's doing my head in as to what it's off

[vulgalour]

Rover SD1.

[omegod]

Cheers Vulgalour, knew it was something fairly mainstream

[vulgalour]

They're not a wheel you see that often on an SD1, you normally see the lattices like the silver one behind the green car. What is that wheel in your picture bolted to?

[omegod]

Some rickety old device for getting boats into the water in Cobh harbour near Cork,it looked well out of place hence grabbing my attention , not sure how many SD1's would have been round there back in the day

[vulgalour]

Maybe once upon a time it was a SD1 and putting boats in and out of the water for so long has meant the wheels are all that's left.

Sir, I hope that your not insinuating , that one of B L's finest would have not withstood the elements, & - dare I even say the words - suffered a tad more than paint blistering ?? There's not a shred of evidence to back up this outrageous claim !!! ( when was the last time you saw an SD1 )

No insulting meant sir, I'm sure this example would have stood up fine to the harsh salt environment in Southern coastal Ireland!( It'd have dissolved before the warranty even ran out )

Maybe that was a ploy, by BL, to avoid having anything to present for a warranty claim !! In the words of the classic " Blackadder " -" D Deny everything Baldrick !" That those wheels have survived for this amount of time, in such a harsh environment, they surely can't have anything to do with BL ! :-)
