Not cheap but a 'must have'

Brochure also confirms that the grill was indeed different on the earlier models.

Bought it! 

That was August '73 - mine was registered in Cyprus May '73...

I'd kill for one of those steering wheels - rare as rocking horse shite they are....

Have you checked Flea Bay and all the other suspects?

I'll add it to my 'hunting list' for you if you like?

You can buy the classic wheel but not the leather-bound 1275GT one.... keep your eyes peeled....

Quite. The one on yours is the plassy one then I presume?
Your grill is off a facelifted mk2 then? You got a mk1 or is that another item to add to this seemingly ever growing list?

Have you finished painting those bloody ruddy gates yet , you know, so we can start seeing a bit of re-building and re-dressing of Me Mi (with pictures  ) going on?

I bought a new steering wheel - the old one was falling to bits... So It will be safe and driveable - it looks good too! 

I'm not sure on the grille - if you search the Intermong for pictures of the 1275GT they have all sorts - as I said perhaps the 'export' models were different too...

The important thing is to get it all up-and-running... can change the grille and stuff later....

I think there were only ever 2 differing grills tbh.
That one of yours is defo off a later face lift model.

I thought 'MeMi' was originally a UK spec. and purchased car anyway?

[Snoopy]

Not that I would know anything about it but having owned a number of Minis over the years they came with various grills.

No, it was first registered in Cyprus...
