Were these hub caps chrome or stainless steel? |

Neither. They were alloy I think. Dented easy. |

Mine are part 88G337 - stainless steel. There's a bit of discussion about this on other forums. In the UK there's mention of early cars being chrome - part 21A72. I don't know if chrome ever made it to Oz. Perhaps on the early 850's. Here's what Somerford say: http://www.somerfordmini.co.uk/eshop/in ... page&id=56 |

By the way, all Minis had the same hubcaps (other than the full dress ring Cooper Style). There's nothing unique about those fitted to Cooper S. |

Thanks for the info everyone, just I've seen both types in my lifetime, maybe BMC/Leyland mixed and matched over the years in the round nose Mini. |

They were all stainless St 24g or 0.6 mm. I have repaired a lot and polished them. Usually the chrome was over bras like the MK moustache mold. |

Yes, my 1969 car number 940 had stainless hub caps, & they are still languishing (mangled) in the garage... |
