Oakes Spare Tire Wheel Lock on 2040-parts.com
Pooler, Georgia, United States
Oakes cast iron spare tire wheel lock WITH lock and key. Markings are:
Main housing: “B(?might be 8)10777” with what might be a “7” on the second line, far right.
Sliding part: “B(?might be 8)10778”
The lock reads “Oakes / Indianapolis” and uses a Yale key “OC431”
Date of manufacture is unknown but my Dad had this back in the 60's, so it pre-dates that. Housing has a few scratches and appears to have been painted over. This was all done before my Dad owned it.
I was told it was for a Jaguar Mk IV drophead coupe, which my Dad had, but the Mk IV spare is stored internally and already locked. One user on a Jaguar forum opined it was a ca. 1930 Franklin or similar era car.
The lock works, has one key, and its dimensions (max) are as follows:
Length: 5.25” (133mm)
Width: 2.25” (57mm)
Height: 3.75” (95mm)
Weight: 3” 6oz (1.5kg)
Shipping will be paid by buyer, shipped by USPS insured Priority TBD based on buyer's location. Shipping cost will be actual, no added charges. Tire lock is in southeast Georgia. Payment through Paypal goods and services only.

Ford will begin offering body shells for 1966-70 models later this fall, and they're aimed at enthusiasts who want to upgrade, soup up or improve their aging off-roaders. Look for the Bronco shell to make an appearance at SEMA this fall, perhaps with an EcoBoost engine underhood.
Salon Privé 2010: Hypercar Heaven – including Panther Six
Wed, 16 Jun 2010The Panther Six - six-wheeled Hypercar - makes an appearance at Salon Prive It’s getting closer to Salon Privé 2010, that annual festival of all things ‘Super’ in cars at the Hurlingham Club, and this year there’s an extra reason to toddle along for a day of petrol and Champagne – The Concours Hypercar Class. Salon Privé has cobbled together an impressive array of Hypercars for a special ‘Hypercar Concours’ at this year’s event, including the rather spectacular ‘Lady Penelope-Style’ Panther Six. The Panther Six is a six wheeled, 1970s creation with a mid-mounted, 8.2 litre Cadillac V8 and a claimed 200+ mph top speed.
Vauxhall Corsa (2014) in pictures: GM's new supermini grows up
Wed, 09 Jul 2014By Adam Binnie First Official Pictures 09 July 2014 00:01 This is the first look at the new 2014 Vauxhall Corsa, which has been redesigned from the ground up in the interest of improving driveability, refinement and comfort. The Corsa supermini is Vauxhall’s best-selling car, and during its 32-year life has clocked up more than 12 million sales across Europe. However, while this fourth generation is the same length as its previous incarnation, the two cars have very little else in common.
