    Are original Mk1 wheels and tyres worth anything?

    Are they worth anything as i have a set of Mk1 13" wheels with 165 Michelin MX tyres from the 70's in very good condition.

    Or should i just take them to the tip?

    Probably not "worth" much money wise. though it'd be a shame to see a perfect set go to the tip.... IMO

    I can't believe how hard it is to get rid of any MK1 parts - we're pretty tempted to chuck everything in the tip 'cause we want the space back!
