They were a cheap simple car. e.g
Washer you have to pump
No exterior mirrors
Two fuses for entire car
External hinges

....but 3 ashtrays [FLUSHED FACE]

...or mine.

Mini K bought new did not have a handbrake cover. I don't remember seeing such a fashion accessory until years later.

A '66 S I am finishing at the moment does have a carpet press stud pop-riveted either side of the handbrake mounting bracket that could have been for a cover. Might have been added in the past.

The MKO catalogue parts list shows the floppy black vinyl cover as part HYB8036 - fitted to late Clubman.

I'm happy to run without it but I don't really know how to cut the carpet around it. Anyone have a pic for me? Most pictures online are the dash area etc.

If I'm carrying on like a pork-chop, I'm having a great time.

If I go very quiet there's a very good chance I broke something.
