 The wheels I assume are the steel silver painted wheels. these were
made by Dunlop and also used as OEM on 'MORRIS' Marinas (!) and
available as aftermarket for those modding their car (far out huh!). I
may have a period advert somewhere. The gear box is the same design as
the marina but different ratios. The midget had the same ratios as the
marina and suffered for it!
