I like the look, they look smart on 50's, it's always a mix bag, I did a bit of research before and went for the middle ground and had a few people message me. Kinda pay your money and take your chance, I think the look looks better with 50's, bigger sidewalls never look cool do they🤣 1

In the film Northern soul there is two street shots outside the leads house that have yellow Rover P6 V8. That was my car, got well fed plus ex’s, for 1hr on set. Happy days. Considering the house and year, the Rover would have probably bought 3 houses in the street!😂 Not a true sandgrown un, from Garstang but now in Shropshire. Edited May 3 by accord83 Edit

I will re watch it and have a good look! That's a small world my dad lives in Stalmine so not far from Garstang. When I was a kid my dad would take me to that sweet shop that was long and thin for a ice cream and a walk down the river bit like a weir/ resivour as I can remember it. Great memories 👌🏻 1
