I have the following grille and am unsure which mini it came off. I have fitted to my 67 Countryman but have been told this came from a early super mini. Thinking of selling what is it worth please. Thanks Kevin

Welcome to the Mk1 Forum!
Quote from the Mk1 Performance website:-
"An incredibly rare brochure. During the very short production life of the ill fated "Super", the designation of our favourite little cars changed from the Morris Mini Minor & the Austin Seven to the Austin & Morris Mini. Not only were these cars not popular when new, but their rarity has been vastly increased by the fact that they were so easy to convert into a Cooper. In the past 40 years almost every one of these cars has been Cooper-ised, making a genuine Super a very rare beast indeed!"

Note the special grille with vertical bars and the Cooper chrome trim around the door window frames. The Super pre-dated the launch of the Cooper.
