anyone seen one of these before?

Hello

This grille turned up in a load of spare that came with a cooper project I've bought recently. Not seen one before - just wondered if anyone can throw any light on it?









Cheers
Tom

thats mega-chod!


it looks like its been made using prewar rolls royce radiator shutters, as they would open and shut to regulate the engine temp.

if you want to sell it let me know, ive got a car that that would fit onto and, er, look just right!

(a?)LLERTHORPE, YORK is just down the road from me & is a little village, I reckon it must have been a tiny volume production thing made by an agricultural merchant who was looking to branch out into the accessory market.

It's pretty knarly but does have a sort of "old world" charm.

Haha - yeah, it's different alright!

It's yours for the P&P if you want it Rich - I reckon it would look great as the new face of your mini TC!!
