The original JG54 '* Grünherz' were the elite Messerschmitt squadrons in World War II. Some of the highest scoring flying aces were in the JG54.

Mind Those Ercos

We were trying to get Alex Thorn's car ready for the VolksWorld Show . However , Alex noticed this rather nasty crack in one of his race weight front Erco's , whilst cleaning them . This , on top of a few other problems ( waiting for the inlet manifolds to be gusseted and the exhaust header rubbing in places ), meant the car didn't make it to the show . The wheels were on the car when Alex bought it , and I've never really liked the idea of race weight wheels on REAL street cars . I'm having the wheel repaired , and will try and get a replacement in the mean time . Then this wheel can be relegated to a spare .
