I have no idea what it's worth. I just want to drive my car without crapping myself. Plus all the parts guys I can find say 0 in stock price £0.00. Let me know what you want and I can tell u if I have it. Sorry to be like that but I have no idea. I really need it. Do you have a non perished tyre on it? Tell me what you want. I'm not mike from wheeler dealers ;)

Sorry to sound like a dick. What I mean is I spent all my money 10 years ago when I saw the car in pieces in the USA. I was in Miami and went to ted vernon in Miami to look at hot rods on a spare day. I fell in love and shipped it back. I will never sell it and have promised it to my son. What I mean is I'm not a dealer. Let me know what you need. Thanks

I'm kinda curious as to the importance of a spare wheel in this day and age? (As opposed to a can or a puncture repair kit/the AA) Isn't boot space more relevant? You realise that if you actually change a wheel you will have to leave either your wheel or your passenger behind?
Or is this an ultimate concors car?

Spare wheel from rover 75 with the centre widened on a lathe fits like a glove.

It's what I use.

A while back, just after having them powder coated I went around a roundabout and a rear slipped off the rim. Luckily I stopped in time and the rim was fine. It was a Lott of hassle trying to get it back on at the roadside so I could reinflate. The misses was going crazy. It was more fun than when the car caught fire though. Lol. People waving, me waving back. Except this time they were shouting "your cars on fire". (Oil leaking out of head. Hit exhaust. Still need to replace melted air box and duct) that time she was going really mad.
My lessons learnt;
Always carry spares
Always have an extinguisher
Get a misses more chilled out.
Will pick up my 75 rim tomorrow, thanks!

If you use a spray foam type get you home can it screws up the inside of the tyre and stocks all over the alloy.

Use a spare and /or carry your breakdown recovery card...
