RP De Luxe - Spare Wheel Cover

[Tony Griffiths]

In the Austin Magazine for 1934 there's a fine looking one advertised by Wilmot Breedon as an after market accessory, obviously with the approval of Longbridge.  Very few seem to have survived so I doubt that it was ever fitted as standard. 
Possibly it was briefly planned for the Deluxe saloon so it had a mention in the sales spec above.
If a spare wheel cover was a standard fitting on the new car then I would have thought that a good few would have survived, whatever material was used.
I was lucky enough to find one many years ago and now have it fitted to my  AH Tourer.

Wow! That's some item. The, correct pressed-steel, hyper-rare number plate (Sheffield registration) is also superb and I love the lighting arrangements as well.
