Brian,
If original, the tires should be 185R/80. I think Dunlops (called G800? -
I'll have to check my BMIHT certificate) were the standard equipment tire,
while Michelins were an option. Both had redlines. If the paint is
original and yellow, it should be Jasmine - Mimosa came later. Let us hear
more about your car when you get it home.
Regards,
Rod. '70 TR6 CC55899L
