Superb job i've been following your restoration, where did you get the tyres from ?

Ian,

 

New AVON HM Tourist 6 x 16 crossply tyres fitted (http://www.vintagetyres.com/item/293...car-tyre--road);

 

Vintage Tyres are based on The National Motor Museum site in Beaulieu and are probably the best place in UK to get these.

 

But not cheap with tubes!

The man to talk to at Vintage Tyres is Chris Marchant. I keep nagging him to make another batch of 900x13 tyres every time I see him!

You could arrange to collect the tyres at the Spring Autojumble in May if the tyres are not that urgent and save carriage.
