yes you could get a sunvisor as a extra, the NSW police minis had mesh ones fitted, maybe have a talk to John at the miniking if he has any

bit of an odd question maybe... BUT, did the mini ever come with an external sun-visor? like a peak on a cap, you see them on US cars from the fities/sixties a lot. I'd love to see some pcs if anyone has any please as I am seriously considering tracking one down / making one. thanks in advance! Foz |

The sunvisor was an option from BMC. There were two types, the solid metal and the metal mesh. In 1966 the solid metal would cost $15.78 on its own or $19.28 fitted. The mesh visor would cost $17.40 or $18.90 fitted. They are still made. Go to http://www.autocables.com.au/ They are a bit dearer these days...

This is what the reproduction mesh one looks like. They were fitted to NSW Police vehicles (together with a drivers door windshield) because air conditioning for Minis hadn't been invented and the cars could spend their days in the extreme heat of rural areas. Black interior wouldn't have helped either.

Didn't slow the S down much either, they still did 106MPH downhill... as the walloper told me back then.

I had a mesh one back in 1967  Wasn't genuine BMC but looked like it. Got a few dings going through the car wash (yes we had car washes back then )
