| Post subject: | Reverse light yes or no 1968 |
Hi All, As the topic says does a 1968 Mini require a reverse light? From what I can find, I think no as ADR's came in from the 1st of Jan 69. So just like rear seat belts or amber front indicator lens, I don't have to have a reverse light. There isn't a reverse switch on my trans under the oil filter or on the shift mechanism. Is my thinking correct? |

Reversing lights January 1972 I think. My 5/70 Matic has none, my friend's late 71 Cooper S with the clubby doors, does. |

My 1969 Mini K does not have reverse lights. Looking at the ADR page - it looks like they were required from 1972? https://www.infrastructure.gov.au/infra ... nd-edition |

Is my thinking correct? Your thinking is correct. No reverse lamps required. ADR 1 - Reversing Signal Lamps was effective from Jan 1972. https://www.infrastructure.gov.au/infra ... nd-edition Some Minis were fitted with reversing lights on the assembly line prior to that but as a special option. For example, NSW Police vehicles specified them. |

Thanks all thought that was the case, just couldn't find good links on the VIC roads website. |
