  • Are original Mk1 wheels and tyres worth anything?

    Are they worth anything as i have a set of Mk1 13" wheels with 165 Michelin MX tyres from the 70's in very good condition.

    Or should i just take them to the tip?

    Probably not "worth" much money wise. though it'd be a shame to see a perfect set go to the tip.... IMO

                    I can't believe how hard it is to get rid of any MK1 parts - we're pretty tempted to chuck everything in the tip 'cause we want the space back!

                      ywa thats always the trouble. no one wants spare bits, but when someone needs something, no ones got it! ha. catch 22 really.

                            Yeah the tyres are really good hence why i thought they would be worth something since they are original Michelins.

                              Are you saying they are the original tyres since 1970 ? I don't think 36 years old tyres can still be used .
