The MK I's had bottle that had 'TUDOR' embossed into
the plastic. The MKIA's had the same size bottle but
with 'TUDOR' painted in blue. The MK II's have short
and wider bottles with painted 'TUDOR' The basket
is medium blue matching the 'TUDOR' on the bottle.
The 'L' shaped bracket holding the basket is semi-gloss
block.
Realize that Rootes got these bottles from an outside
supplier and that it seems they would grab what they
had on hand. I have seen original MKIA with the
embossed bottles. Some MK II's with the MKIA bottle.
But the direction of subsitution is upwards. I have
never seen a MK I with a MKIA bottle.
Bottles can be found at meet swap meets, Prices
depend of condition.
