I can see "Bruce Butler" written all over that fibre-glass work, Steve. Sadly Bruce is no longer with us.

Bruce Butler did the removeable front and rear sections for my Sports Sedan....around 1979.

Dave Mawer made the wheels, Chris. 13" dia., and [from memory] the fronts were 7", rears either 9" or 9.5". Centres were cast alloy, rims spun steel. VW 4 stud bolt pattern.
