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

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 ?

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