Mk1 Front Side / Indicator Units

Postby Dewsnap Mk1 » Fri Mar 30, 2012 1:05 pm

Does anyone know what car the original mk1 front indicator / side units are from? Im trying to track down another new set, in preparation for the spruce up.

I had a good hunt around at a Classic Show last weekend whilst my Mini was on display there, spent the whole weekend looking for a car that had the same ones, but failed, so I was wondering if anyone had any ideas?

Thanks

I think they were from the Austin Metro, and possibly also the Allegro. Not 100% sure though.

Hi,

For the Mk1 I believe they were either Mini clubman or TR7 , the Mk2 was Metro 80 - 90 (City & L up to 84 and City & City X 84 -90).

Cheers,

Mike

hmm taking a huge guess here, possibly Triumph Acclaim / Honda Ballade? Doesn't appear to be the Mini or TR7 lamp.
