Hi Buck, I've heard that they came in chrome on the early (1961 or so)
Hillman Husky and Super Minx. I bought a pair in chrome from ebayUK and
there were advertised as 'Hillman Super Minx' headlight doors. When I got
them I compared them to the painted mk2 tiger rims that came on my car and
they look exactly the same. Maybe they were misidentified, I don't know.
Here is an early Husky, it looks about right.
