What do you think about a database of stickers used on the original minis?
The recent thread asking for a booster sticker reminded me of how useful some of these oft forgotten labels can be to a resto. The prevalence of sticky backed papers also make their reproduction pretty easy from home. There's some fantastic old designs out there from the dealers as well.

I've got a number of stickers I've scanned in, so I'll stick to the ones I have. If you can add your own I reckon it might be a half interesting thread.

Generic VH44 Booster sticker, black on aluminium


Twin SU Air Filter Sticker Glossy Vinyl


My favourite, BLMC QA sticker. Printed on sticky label type paper found on the inside door pocket of a 1969 shell.


Paint Sticker - from a Mid 1969 shell


BMC seatbelt button sticker, black on alumium.


1970 Shell Paint sticker


BMC Original Parts sticker - April 1970 Shell (sorry its a bit poor...)


Canberra Dealer Sticker. Early 1970 mini engine bay


Driver's Side Mini K Sticker


Tudor Water Bottle Sticker - 3 of these labels per sticker. Sorry about the quality of the sticker...

Now that is a damn good idea. I don't have any to add I'm afraid but I could certainly use them

I've got the original dealer sticker (or most of it) left on the back window of the Princess and would love to have a replacement made but have had no luck sourcing this to date.

There's a car at Minitopia with a very cool Dunlop sticker in the back window that I'd love a copy of too

Great idea!

I'm fairly sure Chop has already done quite a few of these, the paint ones, and seatbelt for sure, what about the hot run tested and other rocker cover stuff?

I know some of these are available via Mini King etc.

Well done Mick!

Here's another one from Winton the other week. I hope the owner does not mind that I post up the pic....
This sticker looks awesome, I'd love a repro like this in the back window, perhaps with a modern theme. (Mini 50th??)

What was the bottom one??
