<p dir="ltr">All mkii cars came with non peaked headlight rims and painted matching body colour. The chrome rims are off pre 60's husky and gazelle models.. They often appeared on period series I-II alpine race cars and the works rally tigers </p>

<big>I have noticed that all of the MkII Tigers I have seen recently
have had the rounded <br>
headlight rims as opposed to the peaked rims used on the MkI &
MkIA models. However,<br>
many years ago, back in the 1970's, I owned a MkII for a short
while that had peaked<br>
rims. Was this another case of Jensen using whatever was on the
shelf that day when <br>
the car was being built or was there a definite changeover date
when they went from <br>
peaked to rounded rims. Or were they all rounded as delivered?<br>
<br>
The particular MkII that I owned was B3821000139 LRXFE and was
red. It came to me<br>
as a wreck as the former owner had tried to operate it in an
inverted position. As Dylan<br>
said, "I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now" so I
proceeded to part the<br>
car out and the pieces are scattered over Tiger-land now. I still
have the headlight rims<br>
and a few other odd pieces but nothing worth much any more (before
you all write to <br>
ask about the side and wheel trim, much to my chagrin). Norm was
informed of its <br>
ultimate demise long ago, so it will not appear as an Alger,
hopefully. <br>
<br>
Anyway, it seems that, at least from this one example, peaked rims
on a MkII are <br>
acceptable, so I am wondering if anyone else knows of other
examples.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
