Austin Mini Cooper S project car
Jun 27, 2014
We found these license plate lights and grabbed them up.
We also found some cool NOS chrome “whisker” pieces to go on the ends of our moustache grille.

At Carlisle, pickings tend to be better for MG, Jaguar and Triumph parts, but we did find the Lucas headlight we needed to replace the one we had with no low beam circuit.
We also found some cool NOS chrome “whisker” pieces to go on the ends of our moustache grille.
Next we found some original tools and a driver’s manual to complete our concours correct tool kit.
