Hi,

 

I have a 3 clock surround which looks like the 1275 gt one, strangely it's blue. Anyone know what that's come from.

Didn't some of the later Minis come with different coloured surrounds? Late 80's onwards. Can't remember any of the models sorry.

The Paul Smith ones had blue detailing, possibly from one of those? Bit like the Mary quant thing, helped to shift units getting a designer to put their name on it

Or maybe someone painted it blue themselves, hard to say without looking at the quality of the finish

Hi,

 

Here is a picture of the Designer Mary Quant Dash, as you can see it is only two dials. No blue.

Hi Stuart,

 

I couldn't say as I do not have any knowledge of the specifications of all the different variants of the Mini.

My knowledge is limited to Moop ,my daughter's pride and joy, as I am the one who keeps it on the road in working order.
