there's heaps of similarities to my old car. Some other things have changed but as i said, it could be a case of each different owner over the past 18 years adding their own style.
The main things -
* 1964 model 850
* Deseamed, but roof gutters still in tact
* Twin tanks
* weber box (weber now gone,twin su's instead)
* the red paint visible where the paint has been scratched off in the weber box
* the gauge layout on the dash is exactly the same, looks like 1 gauge has been replaced and the material has all been changed though.
* retractable seat belts in the front with the reels in the side boxes (not visible in these pics but the current owner sent me some other pics detailing this)
* rear seatbelts - not a huge thing i know, but we fitted rear belts to mine also
* can't tell for sure from those pictures but it looks like it still has the same wheels on it, which i've never seen on any other minis
* the reverse light
* wind up windows - another common mod, but a similarity none-the-less
here's a few pics of the old car when we first rebuilt it. Forgive me for my P-plater sound system, interior and engine colour choices
