Centre cap logo on some 14" alloy wheels...what is it? My best guess is late 70s to early 80s Toyota logo. However, I haven't checked with Master Google because Oppo should have first dibs.
Here’s the entire wheel for reference.

I’m sorry, it seems you bought a Rover knock-off .

Those are Rover SD1 alloys. The logo is different to what is typically used on SD1s, but is more like that of a P6. Hence, I would expect them to have been fitted to an early SD1 or have been retro fitted to a P6.

Excellent work. The logo is seriously sunburnt and not immediately familiar. But you've nailed it.

Are there any left? Even in Oz they tended to dissolve...

All that's left is just the wheels...

In the Netherlands there are a few left, but a lot dissolved too . At any time there are 1 or 2 decent ones and 1 or 2 basketcases for sale. I wanted to buy a very cheap decent one (it was a V8 swapped 2600), but the seller didn’t respond. Currently there is a rather solid Vitesse for sale, which is very tempting, however slightly too expensive for me at this time. https://www.marktplaats.nl/a/auto-s/oldtimers/m1309368468-origineel-hollandse-rover-sd1-vitesse-3500-v8.html?c=8c285449651fa109c354bbabe740c1b&previousPage=lr
