XJ6 Series 1 Wheels

[Leah Kininmonth <xtr40998901@xtra.co.nz>]

I am freshening up the exterior of a 1972 XJ6 4.2, factory off white in 
colour, and I am wondering what was the original (non-chrome) pressed 
steel wheel finish and colour?  I'm not referring to the later chrome S2 
wheels that heaps of people have retrofitted to early S1s.  The PO has 
fitted a set of vomitorious fake spoke (plastic) wheeltrims and painted 
the wheels a gold colour.  What is the right colour, and did all pressed 
steel wheels in S1 XJs come with chrome wheel trim bands.  Also, is the 
microswitch in the throttle cable the only kick-down actuation for the 
BW12, or will it go down under low vacuum (open but not full throttle)? 
 My trans seems real lazy on kickdown, but lets the engine do its thing 
going up on full noise. Finally, will S2 4 pots and ventillated rotors 
clear S1 steel wheels? Thanks in advance for your help........
