Default Nice 1800E and two Amazons spotted at Popham Show

Hi all,
Spotted these two Amazons and a nice P1800E at the Popham Airfield (Hampshire) Show today. Do they belong to anyone on this site?

I put too much trust in the weather forecast which was for heavy downpours all afternoon and left my 1800S at home. Idiot!

Hopefully pictures are attached.

Phil

Adrian,

What wheels are you running on your Amazon? Can't tell from the photo above but they look like Torque Thrusts to me... got any more pics?

Cheers

Thanks Adrian...

15 inch diameter, yeah? What size tyres are you running?

I really LOVE those wheels... can never seem to afford a set though.

Hi Mike,
They are 205/55 on the rear and 185/65 on the front
They suit the car really well, and lots of people fit them to Amazons.
