Just a quick one, will mk1 rear lights fit straight on to my 1982 city E ? Or will I need to modify or change something ?

Thanks
Josh

Feel free to correct me if I am wrong here

aswell as welding and painting the coversion plates. I assume your existing lights have a reversing light (MK3/4) and the MK1's don't. Although I dont think it is an MOT failure, you may want to consider a reversing lamp...

This TMF post has some photos that give a pretty good idea of what's involved in the tail light conversion - http://www.theminifo...ght-conversion/
