Good morning people,

I did a bit of browsing the other day on eBay and came across a Brexton tea tray 

 

Made me remember two items that a stranger gave to me a few years ago randomly when I was working on my car in the garage!

 

do anyone know anything about them and are they much of a collectors item?

 

 

 

anyone got ideas of age etc? I'm thinking they look 60s/70s and are a steel and plastic construction 

 

I wonder if they are worth anything too as that Brexton tea tray sold for 209 pounds!!

Looked for ages for one of these for my first mini! Great show piece

There's a mini countryman that would look great with those in the boot somewhere! Brilliant.

Cheers for the comment guys, ill pop a post up in the valuations section but they rant worth much if not it'll ill find a nice wicker basket to make a picnic for when she's on the road again!

Perfect for putting a Wimpy meal on parked up somewhere nice!

Classic car weekly would be your best bet to sell them and it's free too, I think you are more likely to find the right buyer there than here.

They were around in the 50s as I remember one in our car when I was a kid. there have been some on Ebay but did not sell and they were only a couple of quid.

Some similar trays in this old Halfords catalogue of mine from 1961...

My mate here says his dad has the same, just one in his beetle, paid about £3 for it at a show.

It would be about the correct vintage to go in a Mk 1, and would really look the part, but how would you use it with the sliding windows? I remember seeing these in use by a few people, but my Old Man made one out of thin plywood and used it in our Pop. We later had a different one in the Viva HA which somehow sat around the gear lever area, and I think it was modified a few times for other cars.

I have a couple of those, bought from an autojumble, and no they don't work with a mk1! Also have a couple of trays for back seat passengers that hook over the top of the front seats and they don't work either as the seats are too thin.
