Mini Grill ?

Hi, I am new to the forum and I am thinking about putting a Mk1 Mini back on the road for it's 5oth birthday (next March )
Can anyone help identify this grill ?
I think it is a factory made one as the holes for the foglamps are so well cut out.
The fog lamps are Range,something and are fitted with 48W Mazda lamps

the grille is a benelite one, there is sometimes a little black and white plastic tag that's riveted on with the makers name on it (which comes off with thinners (guess how I found that out....... )

Would this fit in with 1964 or will I have to ditch it ?
ps I will not bother looking for any tags then

A very nice addition to a '64 car but if you ditch it, ditch it my way !!

Hi & welcome inhere


Not only is it a Benilite grill, it also has a bonnet lock attached

This lock is a genuine BMC/BL Mini accessorie.

Nice parts

Thank you all for your help on this one.
It came with the car when I bought it some 20 years ago and has sat in my garage, never been out.
After discovering this forum I have decided to put the car on the road.
Thanks again
