What is and where can I get the correct, I assume, champion plug caps for a late mk1 Mini Cooper?
TIA

These may not be the correct type, possibly later, someone will know :

Thanks Robin
I did see these but not sure if they would be the correct type for the age of the car.
Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
Thanks again

How late a MK1 is it?

Coopers & S's were first fitted with WC548's ,then WCX600's, then the rubber wcx200's.

Not sure when the changes were exactly.

thanks Mark,
Its a May 67 if that helps?

May 67 I would say they were most likely to be WCX200's.

I am however prepared to be proven wrong.

Cant find the thread, but Nick posted some great old film camera photos of a late Mk1 Cooper engine bay with a plastic heater hose etc. It had the WC548. Certainly not conclusive though I'm afraid.

Thanks for helping me put a Champion part number on the original plug caps on my car. WCX200! Now I know what to look for when my originals turn out to be a bit spent. Looks like you can get supposed NOS ones for a tenner a piece on eBay still. Cheers folks!

Thanks Mark / Hipwell
Something to start searching for.
Thanks again

Many thanks Nick,
Perfect, they look like champion WC548
Thanks again

The ones in NickW's pics certainly are WC548's.
