Does anybody know where the Chrome Grill surround on the remastered David Brown mini's has been supplied from?

 

The top is just like the Mk1 and Mk2 moustache type surrounds, but it then tucks back and forms a loop like a Mk3 onward surround. 

 

Looks nice ...bit of a half way house between early and late and allows you to use a lip-less bonnet too.

 

Never seen it before, but I assume somebody sells them?

they made it.

So that's where the extra £70k is then, suppose it's made out of formed gold and then silver plated just for show - thanks for explaining that to me Nick

Apparently based on their other model, so even more likely to be defensive over copies

There's an Innocenti one you might like.

The Grille, Grille Surround and the Tail Lights are just some of their bespoke items consistent with their Speedster.

Maybe David Brown are missing a trick not offering parts individually? I'd give all three kidneys for one of those lower dash rails with vents built in.
