Re: buying a *****

Hi
Attached are some pics of past cars, 1600 has normal 14" wheels, Blue 2000GTV has 185/70 wheels. Silver 2000GTV has 185/65 on front and 195/70 on back.
Red 1750 in background had 205/70 on back wheels but had wide arches. These pics will give you some idear of wheel sizes. The wheels on your picture look to small ie 60 series. Also back wheel looks well forward in arch meaning axle is low with hard springs. I had this problem once with a car that had the rear springs of a saloon fitted. If axle straps have little travel left then the springs could be incorrect.
