Hey i bought a set of these the other day and have never seen another set for sale.

* I was wondering what model they came on?
* or when they were offered as an accessory.

They are full face hubcap with the BMC Australia Logo on them and fit a 10inch wheel.

Only other reference i have ever seen of these is in this video on a sports 850,

* some arent as good as the photo looks and if anyone has any i would be interested in buying them.

* Is there anyone that restores hubcaps?

Haha Morris 1100 to the rescue again, you must have entire libraries of this stuff :D

THANKS alot Morris really appreciate it.

So they were an option for the 850's hence why the sports 850 in the video has them.

What year is that brochure from?

Thats awesome, just thought they looked nice, now i need an 850 to put them on..... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Does anyone know of any businesses that restore hubcaps?

The accessories brochure in the first two photos came new with a Mini Deluxe in 1966.
The last two photos are from the BMC Approved Accessories Catalogue and it dates from about 67 and updated in 69.

So the Turbo hubcaps were an accessory for all Minis from the 850 through the Deluxe and on to the K.

I noticed that there was Turbo hubcaps for the Morris 1100 and I have never seen any!
