Ok, now this is a little bit special, and possibly a unique and final opportunity!
Late last year, Compomotive UK announced a "re-shuffle" of their business, which in real terms, meant the receivers were banging at the door and they have since closed their factory doors in Wolverhampton forever it seems
i have to say, as a wheel whore, this was really a big deal tome personally, as Compomotive were just about the last English performance and quality wheel manufacturer, and in my own opinion, probably the best made mass produced wheels on the market, bar none!
It saddened me even further to hear how much stock was skipped as scrap in an attempt to clear some creditors, how very short sighted!
Needless to say, this has had a dramatic impact on the used wheels market for Compo's, and thank god i bought the wheels i wanted for the sud's some time ago, prices are on the hike, Big Time!
So, on to this one off opporunity.
I have in stock, a set of 4 x Compomotive TS 600/601 series 3 piece split rims, 2 fronts are 16" x 7.5j wide, and the 2 x rears are 16" x 9j
and they are BRAND SPANKING NEW! complete with spare centre caps, valves, security bolts and keys!
Never had a tyre on, only one of them had ever been looked at out of their original factory packed boxes, this is an incredible find!
They are 5 stud 120mm pcd, and i will post more info such as centre bore and offest figures once i carefully unbox them myself!
These were purchased in the late eighties (best guess) by a now late gentleman who was an old Jag man, in Wolverhampton, only a few miles from the Compomotive factory, at a cost of around £1000, or at least thats all his wife was told!
She had assumed when the last of his Jags was sold, it was the end of it all, but upon his passing, other family members turned up a massive hoard of car parts, new and used, hidden up in what sounds a substantial loft. These were part of that find, and it appears that they were bought, briefly looked at, and then tucked away and completely forgotten about for the last 20+ years!
The TS range are gorgeous, and rare as hell!
I am very very tempted to keep them and adapt them onto my 33, but at their current value, i am definitely better off selling them and using the money to finish the 33 and get it on the road pronto!
These are worth very different figures to different people, so i would prefer interested parties to make me an offer for them, but remember, this is an absolute one off chance, you will not find a set of brand new factory boxed TS 600 like this, EVER again! terribly sad!
more pictures to come...
