Title: BGP 755X - Where is it now?
Post by: kev131 on December 25, 2007, 12:17:37 AM
I never saw this car but was passed on the images that you see here - They are dated 3rd Sept 1995 and located at Himley Hall.

Nice collection of other sporty TCs in the background.  :)

Does anyone recognise the wheels? - They look of a similar design to the XR3 wheels of the same era but I dont think they actually are. Probably wouldn't fit anyway!  ::)

I am fairly sure they are Alfa wheels as I've seen several Alfas with that wheel design.

Hello to all and greetings!

The picture taken was at Himley hall in 1996 when I was 19. My uncle kens orange sport was also their.

This car used to be mine a few years ago. I sold it to a chap in Hounslow around 1998 and then saw it on ebay about 18 months ago. Last I heard it was sent to the graveyard. The wheels on it are 14" and made by k&n wheels around the early eightys. I still have them and are currently on my Breg super series 3.
