dsl ◊ 2018-04-03 11:39	Yes, you are. Rostyles are newer (1970+) than the US sales period (1967-69) so either an owner upgrade or might be a newer car as private import. Or - as the film seems to have Iran connections - might be a Paykaan slipped in somehow; difficult to be definite but bumper looks a bit wider than normal?? But let's stick with Sunbeam Arrow as best comment on what we know so far.
AleX_DJ ◊ 2018-04-03 14:05	Yes this is supposed to be in Iran indeed
dsl ◊ 2018-04-04 01:35	OK - switching to Irannational Paykan, maybe 1972 or thereabouts.
Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2018-04-04 01:40	Careful, there are diaspora Iranians who drive other Rootes jewels as Paykan substitutes. http://www.paykanhunter.com/2010/01/paykan-in-los-angeles_10.html http://www.paykanhunter.com/2010/11/now-that-youre-back.html
dsl ◊ 2018-04-04 02:07	Fair point. But a US Sunbeam Arrow owner would have to be a determined fanatic with a big wallet to get hold of Rostyles. UK production only used them after US sales finished and only on 1969 GT, 1970+ Hunter GT, 1972+ Hunter GLS, and 1969+ Rapier H120 so not very common items. Paykan used them on several 1970s variants.
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2018-04-04 08:18	I don’t quite get this. Two of my Hunter estates had Rostyle wheels, both 1725DL cars, but both with modifications allowed when bought because the GL had been discontinued. To allow for dates, they were NEA554P and PNX785R.
dsl ◊ 2018-04-04 13:41	My point was Rostyles are not an easy match for US Arrows - they came in a couple of years after US sales finished, and would be expensive to source and ship to US. Therefore Paykan, which did use them seems more likely. Actually switching wheels was straightforward - when I was a kid, someone up the road had a late olive green Super minx with Rostyles, which looked very cool. And A Hunter estate with Rostyles also sounds pretty cool.
the sad biker ◊ 2018-04-04 14:25	Nitpicking...... Are those Ford Rostyles, longer fingers pointing at the wheel studs? Rootes on the left, Ford on the right.

They were both bright red with black interiors and a gold coachline in the swage down the side. One of them (memory faulty here) started to self destruct due to a wiring fault. The garage had retro fitted a cigarette lighter, and not fused the circuit, and the cable had chafed. They tried to say that the lighter was not their problem as it had been fitted by amateurs, so I showed them their bill for the work! -- Last edit: 2018-04-04 14:29:43

Rostyles (or RuberyOwenStyles to give their formal name) came in lots of formats - they were pressed steel wheels made under licence in UK from US design. First UK style was 5-slice (Rover P5B, Jensen), then 4-slice-with-prongs (Rootes, Ford, MG, Vauxhall VX4/90 and Viva GT), Range Rover (without painted insets), baby ones for Mini 1275 GT, then 4-slice-without-prongs towards the end of their UK bubble, plus some Opels. Ford Germany also used them on Taunus TC1 (and its later transfer to Argentina), plus Innocenti, Ford Australia (Cortinas, Escorts) and so on.

My point was, are those wheels on the Rootes (or Peykan) jewel Ford pattern Rostyles as opposed to Rootes pattern? Hence the comment about the longer fingers, apparently Ford & Rootes used the same PCD just slightly different offsets, Ford ones would be easier to find in the US and hence this car may not be Iranian? My Magnum had Rostyles, I think they should be brought back, along with Dunlops, Alley Cats & Slot Mags, although not those nasty white steels that I can't remember the name of Edit : Weller. -- Last edit: 2018-04-05 01:28:11
