Yes that looks like the hubs. On a 69 huh? That's good info. Probably more of those around than the very early Spitfires. Now the 70's had another style of hub cap, similar but w/o the two "Spitfire" embossing's in the center, just plain, correct? I hope so for I sold a NOS set of those to Pat Davis for his 70 Spitfire MK 3 which was restored as original and shown in Showroom Stock Concours at the VTR NATC in Valley Forge. It is a sweet little car, Laurel like to one I have. For some reason the judges did not score it very high but to me it was BOS quality. ==AM== Yes, they are sorta similar to the ones from the '69; see: _http://www.triumph-brochures.be/popup.php?foto=folder376.jpg_ (http://www.triumph-brochures.be/popup.php?foto=folder376.jpg) for the 1970 style. I suspect that those 1970 wheel covers might have been sourced in England rather than in the US, as some of the big Triumph sedans (saloons) used a very similar wheel cover; see: <http://www.triumph-brochures.be/popup.php?foto=folderhu521.jpg> --Andy Mace *Mrs Irrelevant: Oh, is it a jet? *Man: Well, no ...
