does any one know what colour trims came out in a cooper s mark 11 70 model other than black.

Blue
Parchment
Red
Green


Hope this helps, looking through my records, some years old now, the main trim colour was black, so it is always great to see another colour.

Doeskin?

1967 Cooper S - new front bearings to do.
1965 Cooper S shell - Slow progress. No time or money!
1966 Deluxe- next rustoration!
Mk 2 & XJ6 Jags. Less said the better.

So how common were other trim colours? My last Mk2 was purchased with a red interior (On a red car) but I assumed it had been swapped?

My current red Cooper has a blue interior, I don't think it came with that however at a guess......

Monte

was white door trims in the books for a cooper s

on what colour car???

on red or green car

parchment like a pale cream

yes thats right

Out of interest Monte, what colour interior should a Cadet blue MkII S have had (late 1970)? And what about carpet - did all MkII's have black carpet?

Cheers for the information Monte, that's pretty interesting stuff.

Would you consider making up a chart of the colours matches you have or scanning the page?

You sound like you've got some good reading material there!

According to Parnell's `Original Mini Cooper' book, ALL Mk2 Oz S's originally had ALL BLACK interior trim.
I dunno if he's right, but my Mk1-1/2 S certainly did....

Ypu know, so had I because of prevailing information like that...

He reckons that the English Mk3's did this to save the ailing BLMC a few bucks.
