Is there any information out there on what year certain Minis got what bonnet badges and the reason why they got what they got. Just very curious. Hope i make sense. From like 1959 to 2000. I have a 1990, all stock, but i see other 1990 Minis with different ones. Anyone have any good info on this. Hope i'm in the right place here. Thanks :)

Of all manufacturers badges, none confuse me more than Mini

I'd imagine the winged badge first used on the 1990 RSP's was designed to represent a combination of the mk1 Austin and Morris Cooper bonnet badges

The first Austin vehicles used a "winged wheel" or "flying wheel" I would like to believe it was somewhat rooted from that?
