Plenty of kitcar builders/owners like to follow a stealthy, classic clutter-free look for certain areas of their cars.

This continues throughout the whole car even stretching to the rear tyres where advances in technology and production methods over the last few years have enabled the discerning motorist to retain the look of a classic crossply but with modern radial characteristics.

The latest of that type of tyre to hit the road is the Pirelli Cinturato P7 which first appeared way back in 1974 wow, fifty years ago!

Those cheeky chappies at Longstone Tyres have made this classic available again albeit only in 205 x 50 VR15 size. If you are looking for modern performance with classic looks then this is the authentic option for your car.

Pricey at £342 but delicious and tempting, for sure. More from www.longstonetyres.co.uk or 01302 711 123 ENDS.
