[Tigers] MkII Question

[CMeinel464 at aol.com]

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
