If you look at this nicely restored car, you wonder why the Germans (I think it was restored there) messed up on the door cards/panels (by crudely using screws to attach them). I would have used narrower wheels and higher profile tyres.

Nice car in the same colour scheme as my FHC when new. Few dodgy details but still a nice car, sight unseen. Tyres are probably 205 /60 (IIRC) on six inch centrelaced, same as I run on the OTS also in that colour scheme.
