Although this panel is non genuine it is the most accurate for MK1 Cooper S restorations as it has the correct number plate brackets and slam panel.
If you have a pre 1964 car with the one piece valance with no cooling cut outs for brakes and wish to keep as original see
ALA4574If you have a 1964-66 Cooper S with the stiffener support at an angle to allow oil cooler fitment
24A1918 this front panel has the angled stiffener already fitted. Leyland never supplied the Cooper S front panel as a replacement part amd only offered the standard Mini type as a replacement, even though assembly lines and bodyshells had the correct panel. Can be used on mk2 cars if you drill the grille mounting holes as it already has the slanted reinforcement bracket and lower valance cut outs.
