Doors and boot lid from a 1000 will fit an earlier model.

To keep the purists happy... Before Feb 53 is a series mm,I think. Key word is 'series ',not 'mark'. Just the way it is.

Any boot lid before self propping types will fit. Early boot lid badges are different

Not so Mike. Lowlight lids are different being flat where the catch assembly mounts whereas all later boots are raised in that area.
The early lids such as these also had different hole centres for the hinges :wink:
