Glove compartment - Chrome surround

Post by **h20_mako** » Wed Jul 08, 2009 2:19 am

I have a 1957 Minor 1000.

i notice that for minor 1000, the pictures online they have chrome surround around the glovebox cover. (As shown in pictures below)

Mine does not have one. Is it a option last time?

A 57 car wouldnt have the chrome surrounds, they came in around 1959 and only stayed for a couple of years.

i presume the mods you refer is the aircon

my country is pretty hot 35-36degreeC so i need it sometimes haha.

My radio is hidden in the drivers glove compartment.

I love the colors of your seats with white trim and nice looking carpets you have. Most of all love your fire extinguisher

Hi Andrew, not an original mirror but certainly a peroid one and lots of Minors have them fiited. Minors only ever came with the interoir mirror fitted, any wing or door mirrors would have been an optional extra.

Looks like a Marina or BL Mirror to me
