Hi Robert: One fellow got back to me and told me the hubcap had the talbot
emblem that was found on the Tiger's rear wing. I was unable to open your
website, is this what it showed? He also noted that the hubcaps are 15",
and quite rare. I think at this point I will wait to get some rally
wheels. Thanks for getting back to me. Bill M.
