A friend in Atlanta GA has a 1967 but like me loves spinners, so he took the originals off and replaced them with a 65/66 set with spinners. Always gets told he’s got the wrong wheels at shows.

Also the 67 repositions of the optional reversing lights to standard fixture above the licence plate, and parking brake ( handbrake) to the centre console were great improvements.

Take note of the costs new in the Lendrum & Hartman ad - £3537 for the 64 coupe. That was a costly ride back then .............. E Type Coupe £1910 Ferrari 250 GT SWB approx £4300 that year
Lendrum Workshops in 1970 ......... quite a place and fully packed out

Most of Lendrum’s work during the 60’s 70’s and into the 80’s came from the various foreign embassies in London. That business kept them very busy. By the late 80’s many embassies unfortunately switched to Mercedes vehicles.
When my dad bought his new 1970 impala from them I think it was about the same price as a XJ6. Lendrum fully loaded their cars, with Air conditioning being the only available option on the majority of their cars if you were prepared to wait on delivery. Their Cadillacs probably had it on.
Their lead salesman lived a couple of doors away and always bought home a GM product every day. Dad saw the impala and got a good deal on it. Fully loaded except for Air.

Another facet of this very confusing wheel option story . Drawing not released until very late 62 for 63 Assembly Manual yet clearly showing a 2 bar spinner.
If I can copy similar info from an original early 63 Shop manual it shows a gear drive P48 with a 3 bar spinner !!!
