No refs on the page for many years. I've been able to find a very small number of brief references but they don't seem to have enough coverage to
WP:V what is currently on the page. If substantive refs exist, I'm not seeing them

Keep It's widely described and easily sourceable for anyone who still has back issues of Motor etc. It's also significant in that this fairly obscure technology did make it onto some mass market cars (even if only a few models).

Weak delete pending magazine sourcing. I wasn't able to find anything in newspapers.
WP:V is quite important.Keep following the thorough source discovery below.BrigadierG (

Comment. Looking at Google Books, there are lots of results that are about the wheel or its manufacturer. Unfortunately none of them have preview sufficient that I can tell how in depth the coverage is. I was able to discount two results as adverts, I can't say for certain none of the following ones from the first page of results are adverts but the latter two definitely aren't:
There was coverage in Volum 60 of
New Scientist (1973) (
page 264), but again this is a snippet only view so I don't know how extensive it is.
Taken together with the many other snippets from google books that are clearly independent coverage, I'm convinced that there is enough coverage to sustain an article but that very nearly all of that coverage is offline - which shouldn't be that surprising for a product that came and went in the 1970s.

This is quite a wonderful and thorough source discovery. Changing my weak delete vote to a keep! BrigadierG (
