    Are those wider wheels on the front? Did that on my 36 Austin 7 once - only once - made for "interesting" handling......

    SPman the wide front wheels !!, I saw it first on a Mini that was racing, even remember seeing one with the wides on the back, no idea why, ?? - although when I ran the second Mini with 4.5 inch Dunlop " reverse rim " Cooper style wheels, in car trials use to use the standard rims with 145 x 10 mudgrip tyres,they really cut through the shingle !!
