MMC bought a load of surplus Beetle Rostyles in the mid seventies. They looked pretty good on Morgans.
I think these are they......
Note that other versions of the Beetle Rostyle do appear on Google search, but the one's Morgan used came at the end of Beetle production. I guess that's why they were left over.
I like them on the silver car - nicely understated. My '85 four-seater has the Rostyle wheels since new; they've been sandblasted and resprayed twice now, nost recently with the shiny bits lovingly picked out in silver Hammerite by yours truly... I also like that they're now so uncommon that they are a talking point for the car: I don't know how many were sold with these wheels but I guess many have since been converted to wires.
I also understood they were from a very late Beetle. Certainly looking for any replacements (and, indeed, for likely sources for appropriate tyres) inevitably leads to Beetle forums on line.
This is myself and assorted offspring on our way out to a car show a couple of years ago. As discussed elsewhere, I've since attacked the license plate mounting brackets with a hammer and a drill so the plate is more neatly positioned just under the bumper
