Ha ha! Well it's a bit of a cross between and garage and a dumping ground at the moment, hence the random old TV perching precariously there.

I think somewhere in there I've even got one of those DeLorean cars from the 80s. They were all aluminium bodied you know, with a Ford V8 engine. They only made a handful and then the factory went bust because the owner ran off with all the money.

You can tell I'm missing going to car shows...

No particular reason other than the fact that I used to run them on VIN# 4400. I always thought they drove well and looked good.

I would put money on them not having them in stock.

I was rather lucky when my car arrived from that states (Jan 2011) in that a fresh batch of P600's had been produced by Pirelli just 2 months prior. Vintage Tyres did stock them at a whopping £180 per tyre plus VAT! I picked up a set from http://www.tyretraders.com for £255 delivered however they have long since sold out.

General Grabber's seem to be what most folks use if they want to stick to the original 235/60/15 configuration. Otherwise you could always drop down to 225/60/15's which will open up your options.

I'm running Semperit 225's on my car now, car runs fine on them and tbh it looks
no different on them to 235's.

Yes, get the same (no stock) for the fronts as well, but thanks for searching these out.
