99% they are both late types 80s early 90s, the top one looks like the one originaly fitted to my sprite which is 1995 and the lower one looks like its from a mini city. not 100% sure somebody will come along and correct me if i am wrong

From 1992 minis had internal bonnet release. So your mini sprite probably had a closed black grill, not with an opening like the top one.


good point well presented, i didnt even think of that till you said it.
