I would say its an original / older repro as it has the bs kite mark on it


the new minispares ones just have 'made in uk', nothing else
should you wish, you can contact me on rich@minispares.com

Ok Thanks for the info , I was taken back by the quality of the chrome and the finish how bad it was . it came in the old type Leyland packet
The quality must had gone down in the later days ?

Ohh you better belive that, i have a NOS under rider for a GT/Clubby still in its original BL box.

The quality of the whole thing is terrible, no polish what so ever :roll: straight from the press tool & welding, into the chrome bath :roll:

Why refinish it? If you leave it as is then the true enthusiasts will know its original.
