Not sure how widely known this video is, but it is quite interesting and features the MGB a lot.

Thanks to Paul Hollingworth, MG CC Midland Centre Secretary for alerting me to it.

Interesting film of MG and the MGB.
Many thanks Pete and Paul
Our Marathon MGB is shown around the 23 minute area for a couple of minutes.

Hi John,
Glad you enjoyed it!
What diameter were the knock off Minilites used on the Marathon car?

Hi Pete, thanks for all your words of interest on our forum
We spoke with all people who were involved with the 1968 London To Sydney, I've Peter Browning, Bill Price, Dudley Pike, Basil Wales and the majority said it would have run stand size 14". This is what we have had supplied by Moss.
Regards
John

Hi John
I must admit that they look like 14" in the video so I would join that camp, but had they been 15" a friend of mine recently sold his MGC GT for restoration and took off a set of centre lock magnesium Minilites to sell separately.
If anyone here is looking for a set of 15" x 5.5" centre lock Minilites, then I can put you in touch.
