Not sure - remember the 50s Velox had a chrome hub cap with the word "VAUXHALL" (in caps) across the middle in red.

That's not a Vx hubcap .
I think the photo should be rotated 90 deg. anticlockwise for the correct orientation.
Good question though and surely deserves an answer......

So a "4" - not a TR4 as the hub caps on steelie versions of these were the standard Triumph hub caps with the coloured globe in the middle?

Morgan?
