When the mini first came out in 1959 I was not quite six years old. My memory throughout the sixties was that the 4 upright body seams always had the welded seam covered by a plain steel cover that was painted body colour. Around the wheels and along the sill was often a chromy plastic strip but was often not original. Don't remember any black ones until later.
