Oakes cast iron spare tire wheel lock WITH lock and key. Markings are:
Main housing: “B(?might be 8)10777” with what might be a “7” on the second line, far right.
Sliding part: “B(?might be 8)10778”
The lock reads “Oakes / Indianapolis” and uses a Yale key “OC431”

Date of manufacture is unknown but my Dad had this back in the 60's, so it pre-dates that. Housing has a few scratches and appears to have been painted over. This was all done before my Dad owned it.

I was told it was for a Jaguar Mk IV drophead coupe, which my Dad had, but the Mk IV spare is stored internally and already locked. One user on a Jaguar forum opined it was a ca. 1930 Franklin or similar era car.

The lock works, has one key, and its dimensions (max) are as follows:
Length: 5.25” (133mm)
Width: 2.25” (57mm)
Height: 3.75” (95mm)
Weight: 3” 6oz (1.5kg)

Shipping will be paid by buyer, shipped by USPS insured Priority TBD based on buyer's location. Shipping cost will be actual, no added charges. Tire lock is in southeast Georgia. Payment through Paypal goods and services only.

Michigan State Police take on a new crop of cruisers

Fri, 21 Oct 2011

The Michigan State Police did its annual cop-car shootout last month at the 10-turn, two-mile Grattan Raceway, and the preliminary results are in. It seems the Motor City still knows how to take down a perp because the Detroit Three were fully represented. Ford brought a few models of the Police Interceptor , based on the Taurus, and the Police Interceptor Utility, based on the Explorer.

Range Rover Sport desert-bashing exploits now on video

Fri, 13 Dec 2013

The new Range Rover Sport demolished the Empty Quarter Last month we reported on an adventure for the Range Rover Sport (to add to its recent Pikes Peak jaunt), with Land Rover taking the new Sport off to the Empty Quarter Desert in Saudi Arabia (which also runs through  Oman, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen) to see if they could cross it in a day. The Empty Quarter – the largest sand desert in the world – has endless miles (well, 500 miles) of hostile sand and dunes and temperatures as high as 50C – so it was quite a task. Land Rover enlisted Dakar Rally man Moi Torrallardona to take the driver’s seat and he managed to take the RRS through the Empty quarter in just 10 hours 22 minutes at an average speed of 51.7 mph.
