Austin bonnet badge

Post by minitravellerman »

Stupid question, but I've uploaded a Mk1 Austin bonnet badge onto ebay. This was a badge that was actually fitted to a 1960 Austin Seven I had years ago that was beyond saving so I stripped off as many useful parts before scrapping the shell (I know, I know ... but it was 20 odd years ago).

Anyways, I got a message from someone telling me it isn't a Mini bonnet badge and that it's the wrong shape - is off an A40.

Looks like a Mini one to me, AND it was fitted to a Mini when I got it.


Just want to check - like I say a stupid question ...

I know - right!! The fact it was fitted to my '60 Austin Seven is pretty cut and dried. Just wanted to check I wasn't being totally brain dead on it. :lol:
