Hi Ben, I reckon they did. The MK1 & Mk2 in Oz do. By the way I spoke with an expert here who told me that if there's rust bubbling through the paint the whole lot has to be cut out - as its double skinned so working on one side wont suffice. If that's what happened to yours the strip may have been removed. the chrome (Al) strip looks nice and its just a simple fold.

The 1800 seemed to be of a transitional period in car history - kind of Mid-Century-Modern. I've never owned a British car before (and anyway this one was put together in Sydney.) Yet my Dad had one (he learned to drive in an Austin 7, had a series of Allegros, Metro, Maestro and reckoned his Rover 200 was the bees knees. Attachments:

Hi there, I've got a few spots of rust on the front of the bonnet. I want to remove the chrome strip so I can treat it properly. Looks like the strip is just riveted in with Al pop rivets. Is there anything else I should be wary of before drilling out the rivets? Regards Paddy
