My vote goes for the interior lights located in the rear pockets. I believe 1959 sedan models?

I’d go for the early straight wand stick as used until October ‘60. I’ve seen rear bin lights and glass water bottles come up for sale but never seen a straight stick. Mines very worn and I’ve been looking for a few years now. Also the 997/998 Cooper 0.625” brake master cylinders are very rare too. Without one of those the 7” brakes are a lot poorer for it. I think that’s where they get the bad reputation from as they are normally coupled with the wrong sized master cylinder.

Originality - you can't buy that and put it into your resto project!

Both the original spacer and extended flange stud fixings for the front carpet which were used from about 1962 onwards.
Someone was selling a very similar replacement set up on eBay a while back and I should have bought some then.

OK, original 60s rear screen, with correct markings, not a modern repro?

I think mk1 glass is generally easy enough to find - many restorers will even get it with the right date code.
There is a plastic clip for one type of sun visor that is quite hard to source.
And the fuel pump breather vent that fits in the toe board.
