Waitamata Man Finds Original Tires on Morris Eight
A Waitamata New Zealand man discovered his 25-year-old Morris Eight still has its original tires, which have not been retreaded and have since driven an additional 6,300 miles, much of it across the countryside.

Employment for the Handicapped drives the project, led by E H Robinson, a former BOAC maintenance engineer who developed the production system used in aircraft maintenance.
