Buck,
All Alpines & Tigers came with body color headlight rims. The chrome ones
you see on Ebay now and then are from other Rootes products such as the
Hillman Minx. I see guys putting these on Alpines & Tigers and saying that
they are factory. They are not!!!!
Hope this helps.

I don't know much about MkIIs.
I know this shaped rim was used on MkIIs. But I thought the factory always
delivered these rims painted the color of the body.
Did Rootes ever deliver MkIIs with chrome headlight rims ("doors")?
thanks,
Buck Triippel
