Registration plate light Mk2 Cooper

Post by rolesyboy »

Would anybody know whether the registration plate light body on a Mk2 Cooper should be black or chrome. Someone has borrowed my Parnell book for the last 2 years...
Cheers. Mark

Pretty certain it's chrome. I'm quite proud of my black one on my boggo thou :-)
I've got a 69 Mini with a 1046, Cooper Head and a four on the floor.

Black lamp covers were only used on basic saloons and commercials as far as I know (maybe Mokes as well ?).

From what I have seen all Mk2 Cooper & Cooper S cars have chrome number plate lights :)

OK, wasn't sure on those. Guessed chrome as they were sort of 'upmarket' vans :lol:

My Mk2 Traveller has black ones on, I've now changed them to "up market" chrome.
