Thanks Chuck
So... I have the incorrect wiper arms.
either factory was wrong or first owner replaced the original wiper arms.
host has left hand park arms - 13H5629

Mk I park in front of the driver regardless of LHD or RHD.

Parnell indicates all MK1 RHD minis had wipers that parked to the right (driver).
No mention of MK1 LHD minis.

my LHD ‘66 “S” was “personal export” and I believe it to be unmodified.
My wipers Park to the right (passenger) as well.

when I see other MK1 LHD minis on BAT the great majority have wipers that park to the left (driver).

can anyone provide insight?
if going for “originality” what should it be?
if going for “practicality” what should it be?
