Can Anyone Identify These?

Post by sracing »

I have recently been given some bits and pieces by a friend who has been clearing the house of a relative. I know what some of the stuff is, but it is mostly Mini....can anyone confirm?

I have been told that this rear(?) heated screen is for a Radford Mini, its laminated and has the elements in the glass:

Close up of logo:

Screen Vents Cooper/Super?

Image

Cooper Overider bars?

Image

What Formula Wheel is this for, are there more than one?

Image

I know what these are ;) , They were found in a garage, the bosses are for Mini...they even have the little tubes of loctite with them!

Image

Not sure about this one:

If anyone can identify the above that would be great.

Got a very similar laminated heated rear screen which came with my MK2 S. Will have to dig it out and check the markings to see if they are similar.

The heated Mk 1 rear screen is just that - not specifically Radford, they were available across the Mini saloon range of the time.

The screen vent surrounds are Cooper, Super & Elf & Hornet. The long chrome gear lever is also Super/Elf/Hornet.
The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who do not possess it.

Not sure but gearstick might be early Cooper and/or S but definitely not a quick shift

Cooper or DeLuxe overrider bars, Yes

How can I tell if the rear screen is MK1 or MK2? I presume MK2's are wider.

As Simon says, the gearstick is probably Elf or Hornet. Early Cooper ones are black.

A very nice haul of rare bits.

I can't add much to what has already been said though.
GOOD FIND!

I have decided to list one of the Les Leston steering wheels on Ebay (I am keeping the other). I have no idea how to price it, Some of the members here have sent me PM's asking if its for sale, so if interested have a bid. I have also listed the Formula boss. I will be adding the vents and overrider bars.
