Hi all,
I'd thought I'd post these pics of a recent eBay purchase. To my eye it looks Rootes NOS but although it has a proper stenciled Rootes part number as opposed to something handwritten it does not have a Rootes label so I do not say for certain that this is Rootes as opposed to aftermarket.
Did original early series have a chrome tailpipe from the factory or did Rootes supply these as an accessory? My question is what do you think? Rootes or a.m.?
I have 2 'NOS' tail pipes but neither has any Rootes branding so are likely after market I would say. Neither was chromed and both only had the part number on a blank label or painted on.
Its the careful stencil that make me wonder if it is Rootes made
