Would anyone like to through in their two bobs worth regarding the dash fitted to my MK 2 Cooper S. I have been reliably told that it was fitted ex factory in 1970, so I have no doubt that is was fitted at delivery but was it a BMC offered accessory?
I have found a small decal behind the glove box with manufactures details:
T and H Dashboard Designs
Car Accessories
35 May St
Glenroy.
No Biggie.........I'm just curious.
Thanks

That type was an aftermarket accessory. They are different to the ones sold (and fitted) by the dealers.
I threw out a heap of those about 12 years ago! :lol:

Thanks for that, it looks remarkably similar to the Austin 1300 Mk3 dash featured in Issue 2 of BMC Experience. (page 72)

I had one of those dashes in a Van once. Sold it at a swap meet in the late 90's.

I had one of those in my S in the seventies bought the car from the original owner.

I'm just wondering if BMC may have changed styles later in the 60's and sold this type too?
I know it isn't in the accessories books up till 1969 but I don't know about 70 and 71.

Oh no. To this untrained eye, it looks like its from a 80's caravan.... :shock:
