I recently purchased a 1965 Morris Mini Deluxe with the one year colour of 'Ceramic Green'. I was just wondering if anyone knew the build numbers of Mini Deluxe's and their colours. Because to the extent of my knowledge this is the only Ceramic Green mini ever, which I find hard to believe. If anyone could help this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Luke

We haven't started up a Deluxe register but I have been keeping an eye on cars over the past 15 years and have a few on my list. I had a quick look through my ID plate photos and found 7 Deluxes in Ceramic Green.

They are car 1011, 5553, 3551, 4220, 6909, 9727 and 26085.

Is yours one of these?

I am happy to donate all my info to the person in charge of the register. They will need to take on the responsibilities required to maintain a register. Winabbey or miniresto would know what is required.
