Hey again,

I have been looking everywhere and i cant find a clear pic of a mini k bonnet badge. The one fitted to my car at the moment is round with what i think is a bull depicked in the center, I cant be sure as it's badly faded.

also where would i go about getting a new one

thanks in advance,
Zoike.

Yes it's got the Morris bull in the centre. They do fade badly. :cry:

These Mini-K bonnet badges are identical to an English Morris Mk2 Mini badge. Available from Mini shops in UK, eg Somerford Mini. :wink:

Useless trivia time , it's actually an "Ox" , standing above a river crossing or "Ford" and comes from the location of Morris's original factory at "Oxford" in England . Hey , I warned you it was useless information .....

So what about the Kangaroo ones I've seen ?

Didnt the Mini K have Kangaroos on it ? - or was that a dealer fitted thing ?

Edit--> I knew I'd seen it somewhere ...

The Kangaroo was on the stickers on either side front quater panel and were specifically for the Aussie mini K , rumoured to be mini Kangaroo for being an aussie derivative . They used a standard round plastic Morris badge from English stock the same way earlier ones had a standard designed morris badge on the 850 and deluxe .
