Nos Motor Spyder Wheel Center Caps (aka Medallion Bullets) on 2040-parts.com
Wilmington, Ohio, US
I was considering keeping the last set of NOS center caps for myself but, have decided to finally part with them. This are EXTREMELY rare and hard to find in this condition! If you have a set of Spyder wheels then I'm sure you can relate. These are in the factory box, with the factory mounting screws still sealed in the plastic bag! I've had these for around 20 years now and had hopes of
eventually using them. But, as time passes, projects and priorities
change...so, I'm offering them up to a good home. They say a picture is
worth a thousand words, so I've tried to capture their condition as
best as possible. There are several faint spot on some of the caps (I'd
describe as VERY small cloudy spots) that the camera couldn't capture. My
guess is the spots will polish out...but, I'm not about to attempt
scrubbing/rubbing/polishing on these (that will be left up to you, the
buyer, to decide). I did lightly clean them off with a glass cleaner
and soft cloth but, I refuse to scrub on them and risk damaging the
finish. There are a few little specks of red paint on them...the same red paint that was used to color in the wording on the caps (see close up picture of with my hand in the cap...you can see one of the red paint marks) . This is only the 2nd NOS set I've ever seen or had in hand and the other set had the same on it. I'm sure it would come off with a little paint remover, if you wanted it off....but, I'm not messing with them since that's how they came factory. Also included is the small bag of screws
that were provided with the wheels from the factory. All in all...these
things are roughly 44 years old and I doubt you'll ever find another
set in better, un-restored, condition. Most have been damaged over the years due to the fact they extend out past the lip of the rim so, when the wheel is removed from the car, if it falls over on it's face...the tips of the center caps get dented/damaged.
If
you have ANY questions or concerns, please ask BEFORE placing a bid. The reserve is $600 and if they don't bring at least that, I'll keep them (so please don't ask if I'll take less).
I'll cover the cost of FedEx ground within the lower 48 states. If you
would like for it to ship via another method or to another location
(outside the lower 48 US states), shipping cost will be up to the
buyer. Last but not least, if you are outside of the US, the declared value will be whatever the selling price is for the caps. Good luck and happy bidding!

***Just to clarify, this is a set of 4 center caps (not 8). I took the pictures with a mirror behind the caps, so that you can see both sides of them.***

MP makes case for double summertime
Fri, 25 Oct 2013ROAD SAFETY and tourism benefits are the key issues behind a debate on the end of putting the clocks back during the winter. Sir Greg Knight, MP for East Yorkshire, criticised the "flawed ritual of plunging the UK into darkness by mid-afternoon" and suggested a debate was required on making better use of daylight. The Tory said any examination should look at the benefits which would see the clocks run two hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time during the summer.
Saab 9-3: is this the new 2013 hatch?
Tue, 01 Nov 2011Is this the new Saab 9-3? Contained in Saab's business plan submitted to the Swedish National Debt Office was this grainy image of what purports to be the new 2013 9-3. If it is indeed a model of the finished 9-3, then it shows that the 2011 Phoenix concept car was influential in guiding what should become Saab's best-seller.
Jaguar Land Rover – Clever Finance Deal
Mon, 16 Nov 2009JLR releases £170 million by financing cars in transit Car makers have been begging lines of credit from wherever they can in the last year as the recession has bitten hard in to their finances. Jaguar Land Rover started off down the Government Loan route, but it soon became clear that the strings attached to any Government sourced finance where unacceptable. But in a sign that the future of JLR looks pretty rosy JLR managed to secure £175 million in private financing back in August as part of a bid to raise £500 million, and Tata have refinanced the loans used to acquire JLR.
