- While you are correct regarding the Alpine, Rootes had a number of variations of white available. It appears that Hillmans used "Foam White" or later "Foam Gray" (same color) on the wheels. This was

- Yes, this is true and I think it will need some looking into. I've ofter wondered what color was used, but never had a real desire to figure it out until Jan and I started formulating body colors. We

- Series III GT's had white wheels. NOT body color. I've seen this on car's I've owned, and in factory press photos owned by Scott Christie. I'm 100% sure on this. There is a B/W factory photo on the S

- B9107291 is when the wheels changed in production. The color changed shortly before that, but has not yet been confirmed to a Serial Number. In case anyone has not yet notice yet, I've created a time
