Hello
I am after a front grill for my 1976 1275GT.
It needs to have the long metal badge in the middle and be black / Chrome in colour.

Many thanks

None of them are chrome, just different combinations of satin black paint over raw pressed aluminium.

If I remember rightly, the older style badge will cover the holes of the newer style.

If you're being really picky the piece riveted across the top (to screw to the slam panel) is steel on early cars and alloy on later ones.

 

So really any clubman grille would do and can be repainted and re-drilled to suit your application and may make your search easier......

 

I'll have a look at a couple of spares I have and see what's there.

The early grille badge fits in the holes of the later one and then another hole needs drilling top and bottom for the early badge pegs to mount through
