THE INTERNATIONAL JAGUAR 'S'-TYPE REGISTER FORUM

Hi Cass.
I've had my S type since 1987 and bearing in mind it was garaged for about 9 years before I bought it. It came with a few spare wheels, all curly hub so I suspect this 1965 model always had curly hubs.
Hope this helps!

Original Dunlop wheels were stamped hub (slightly deeper curl). The change to turned from billet happened during 1966 for curly hub & availability of so called "easy cleaned" or "easy cleans". Precise dates seem lost in the annals of time unless someone has a source of better information. Aston Martin seems to report similarly although they did not move to the 52mm hub until the DB6 Mkii
