I have a Larke Hoskins Dealer Decal on the rear window of my 1967 model. I have seen some posts for Dealer placards on the side panels under the bonnet, but was hoping to see who might know some more about the rear window decal. Is it original delivery, or a later fitment by the dealer. Does anyone else have a similar decal. I have had the car for over 20 yrs. Thanks. |

This is the one on my ex police Mk2 Cooper 'S'. Interesting it starts with "MCS" presumably meaning Morris Cooper S. |

Coincidently, I have been looking into whether the Hoskins in Larke Hoskins was a rello of Charlie's... http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/hoskins ... henry-6738 [cue Morris1100 the mountain man  ]

Maybe I should. Larke Hoskins was a huge part of the Austin story in NSW. Not just dealerships but assembling cars as well. They built the Enfield plant that eventualy assembled Minis from 75 to 78. |

There was a site recreating dealer stickers (not necessarily just BMC/Leyland etc related stuff) and selling them online. Might have been Kingswood country or one of their competitors? I seem to recall it may have come up in Hanra's SLR5000 restoration thread (maybe?) KB |

That transfer was on my Mini K when I bought it new from L-H in Parramatta in 1969. It's still on the car. In the engine bay, the aluminium stock number sticker was from P&R Williams |
