You don't want a Webastard. They made Sherpa convertibles, y'know.

I was considering about changing to one. But then I still prefer the styling of the GT over the Roadster, so rather have a BGT with a Webasto. Plus the Roadster commands a decent amount over the GT.

I'm sat in the garage right now and looking at it over my shoulder just looks right from this angle. The Pininfarina guys got it very much right to my eyes.

However I've grown quite attached to this one and don't really want to part with it. Have considered getting a Spridget as well, however Mrs SiC is giving up work for a bit and so I need to be a bit more sensible with my expenditures now.

I agree the GT does look better.

Anyone know what wheels these are for? Man reckons an old Morris van but I'm not so sure. They are 15" so I guess 1950's.

No idea but measuring the PCD might help you narrow it down with google.

I think Mercrocker has it, good call. I knew the elongated holes were unusual on anything British.

Went to fit new seal to trailer, with the old seal out the bearings are visible and look like they have got hot at some point. Not worth risking a problem on the motorway so I'm hoping the local trailer place have a kit in stock.
