Getting wheels of the right width is not a problem, here it is pictured with 13 inch wide rears, and 10 inch wide fronts. They are steel rims, and FARKIN heavy! I was more interested in getting a set of rims with a similar shape to the originals. Trainspotter stuff I know, but thats the way I amlimitedblack wrote:It's should be back on the road next year, so you just need to wait.
How do you know this? Would be fantastic to see it again!

Afaik it's a replica only, but an exact copy with the Eagle engine. The original was sold off without the engine, then it was possibly stolen. The "new" one has been constructed using the original drawings, and some of the original people have been involved.
