Re: My original CAT XL - freshly uncovered
Same as me then really. Came and went before I could really drive or knew how to set up a car. I guess I can give my original XL a second go (although saying that I am even worse driver now!)

Re: My original CAT XL - freshly uncovered
Thanks Sprocket. The wheels are Gisom alloys. They came in various fitments and offsets so you have to ensure you have the correct ones. I have a set on my Concept Car also, but the rears have a shallower dish, and as such I have had to use a pair of SRM spacers which have the Schumacher castle fitment in order to make full width at the rear. The ones on the rear of the XL have a deeper dish as at that time they were designed for the rear of the unwidened CAT. They do pop up for sale occasionally, and were a great period rim, particularly in the UK. I recall seeing lots of cars running them during my racing days, which is why I have started collecting them now.

A couple of sets made their way down to Nz back in the day. Got a set of Schumacher castle fitment sitting on my shelf atm
Waiting for a project to use them on

Re: My original CAT XL - freshly uncovered
Very nice. The Schumacher fitment ones are really shallow dish - especially the fronts to make sure the car remains within the 250mm width limit. It always amazes me how light they are.
