Description:

x1 AC Cobra Magnesium Halibrand FIA style peg drive wheel 8 1/2 inches wide. Purchased directly from Crosthwaite & Gardiner by me in 2017 as a spare for my Cobra. Briefly had a tyre fitted and installed on car, but never actually driven or raced on (indeed it is still in the box it arrived from Crosthwaite & Gardiner). I still have the invoice from when I purchased the wheel in May 2017.

The Crosthwaite & Gardiner part number is HAL-95-002-8.5 and they are still for sale on their wesbite for £1,325.00+VAT (£1,590.00 incl. VAT) at the following link: https://crosthwaiteandgardiner.com/parts/ac/wheel-rear-8-5-halibrand-fia-style-2

Description as per C&G's wesbite:
"Wheel rear 8.5'' Halibrand FIA style.
Magnesium Halibrand FIA style peg drive wheels 8 1/2 inches wide Wheels are manufactured using period correct magnesium sand casting techniques, from our own patterns at the leading motorsport magnesium foundry and machined in house with the latest CNC lathes & mills. Safety beads are incorporated and machined to the industry ‘ETRTO’ standards, as is the rim diameter to ensure correct tyre fitment and sealing. These improvements over the original wheel permit the use of tubeless tyres. Once the machining processes have been completed all wheels are subject to full dimensional inspection on our high accuracy, computerised co-ordinate measuring equipment. All our magnesium wheels are then subjected to a process of double impregnation and final pressure test which ensures correct sealing and no air loss. These wheels have a backspace of 69.85mm."

The wheel is located in Beglravia, London. Preference for collection in person. Asking £575 ono.
