I saw a wanted post about a Janspeed rocker cover and after having a look on the internet, couldn't find a single one for sale or even one that had been for sale in the last few years. 

 

So it got me wondering, what are some other very rare mini parts that may be worth looking out for? 

 

Cheers, 

 

Will

Anything to do with the 500 minis. They all come with high prices. Original centre consoles too.

I just use an old imperial adjustable spanner and turn it over to make it left handed.

Any new old stock parts for early cars fetch good money, along with early tuning parts like h4 carbs, also cooper brocade trim, and reclining seats, in fact most early parts in good condition are worth money now.

Any part for a BAC M-30

Only 3 of the planned 30 vehicles were finished so in theory there could be 27 bonnet badges, 27 dashes etc out there somewhere.

If you would of cut the socket of the end, rotate it 180 degree then weld it back on, you could of used it as a right hander ?
