thats a gold buy if the plates are true

what is it mini 1000 or deluxe or what any ideas

50bucks

ok, from Hotbricks.org.au i get the following...

9YA/Ta/H 998 YMA2S2 Morris Mini Deluxe (A)

so I'm guessing your body number is actually YMA2S2, not YSA2S2 ...
But its a 998 Deluxe - Probably a '68 model (mine is the same body number!)

Enjoy!

The engines from a deluxe.
Are you sure you don't mean the body prefix is YMA2S2 and not YSA2S2.
The year I would hazard a guess as 65 or 66 from the paint code and body number.


Edit Beaten to it.

Toga White was a 65/66 colour.My 68 deluxe which I believe to be a 67 is body number 37232.

$50!!!!

Not a bad price. I paid $40 (bottle of Chivas Regal) for Mini-Ha-Ha back when he was a 998 'matic... then I spent $5,000 to get him on the road (with 1310S mechanicals)

Regarding the free cooper,

How pissed was I that that was the only week i didnt read the quokka!
Acutally there was a free van not too long ago but that was in the sticks.
Ah well...



Good on you for the $50 buy! Its a funny thing these mini's and their prices.
