But with new pics Ventora still possible - particularly if total roof and C-pillar rust is because a vinyl roof burnt off -- Last edit: 2014-09-20 12:32:52

From memory the Ventoras had up-market full-diameter bright trim wheels with concentric bright rings and black centres. Although many 'restored' Ventoras are shown with Rostyles the Vauxhall brochures and press photos I can find show the up-market trim wheels for the Ventora.
