Works navigators grab handle

[minitravellerman]

Does anyone know what car the grab handle used in the works minis for the navigator came from?

Austin 1800 I was told many years ago ,most probably other BMC cars of the same era .

Depends on which car and year. Some had a 'rope' type part that was from an MGA I believe. The later ones were the generic Leyland part from Triumph 2000/2500, MGB, 1800/2200 range etc.

Do you mean these?

Yup those are the later ones. I haven't seen a picture of them in a works car with the chrome ends so they may or may no have been used.

Yes ,the chrome cap ends are purely decorative.
