I got 'em & they're mine, all mine!
These is they. 16 inch diameter. 5 bolt. Same PCD as the Ford Pop & early Volkswagon, but that's all I know cos I've not actually measured them. I'm sure Lunatic will know. I'll text him to post a reply.

They are different to the pop and beetle wheels. A much smaller stud pattern, looks more like 5 x 110 ish, Ill have a measure.

Wheels are completely different to the Pop wheels sadly >:( but same as early Rover, Sherpa and Ford P100 pickups, this leads me to the question, can you swap Escort rear hub's for P100 hubs???? as I'm using an Escort axle and want to use my Taxi Rims with either the Cross ply's or the 205/16 tyres I have in the shed.

Sorry -crossed wires there. I was thinking of the Pop rims because I'm fitting taxi wheels on my Pop, but of course, I'm using Sherpa axles.
I'll erm, shut up now.  :P

I'm sure P100's had a Transit axle on the back, and adaptors on the front hubs to make them five stud.

Nah, just the roundy bits Pete.
There was a London cab at the Uxbridge show earlier this year with airbag suspension.
