Would anyone know the years, models, and displacements of Minis that were factory equipped with Champion dot spark plug caps?

Thanks,

Dave

I think the dot caps were something to do with radio suppression. I'm pretty sure they were on '59 cars. Ask the '59 register. End date was probably when they stopped making them.

Greenwheels, could you please provide me with a link to the '59 register? Can't seem to find it here.

Agreed. Unfortunately the '59 Mini Register site only confirms that the Champion dot caps were fitted to '59 Minis. I am wondering about '60 and '61. The dot caps were factory fit on E-types up until the end of '61. Were they also fitted to Minis during this time?

Thanks,

Dave

They changed to the "Champion" labelled ones during 1960 according to the factory original Mk1/Mk2 book
