What are the different hubcaps fitted as standard to the different models across the years?

Whether they be Leyland, Morris, Austin, or any of their types (Cooper, S, etc) I'd like to see them.

Maybe we could make an image database so people could identify what they have, for later use.

Thanks in anticipation.

these were the type of hubcaps fitted to early stock clubbies, up until about 1975 i think. in 75 they moved onto just the normal type hupcap fitted to deluxes etc

you can see the other type just above the clubbies tail light.... and they're the 2 types for you willy ;)

I think there are stainless and chrome variants, but they all look the same

Here is the later full dress rim fitted as standard too

850 Super deluxe, MKI & MKII Riley Elf and Wolseley Hornets, Early Coopers and possibly late MKI then later Woodies

Image

This is the 60's dress rim from asia available to the Australian mini owner to mimic the full dress rim sits under the plain hubcap

Image

Image

I will post the MKI 850 1959/ 60 full dress rim and early (September) 1960 woodies to mid 1961, they are different.
