Hi All,

This may seem like a bit of a silly question, but what's the best resource for finding how my mini would have looked the day it came out of the factory?

I recently bought a 1966 Morris Mini Deluxe and know the basics from looking at the ID plate / engine related stuff, but what about more of the interior or styling options.

I have tried countless Google searches but haven't really found what I'm looking for.

For example, my mini has two front mirrors that have been replaced, how can I find what they should be/look like?

Interior colour options that were available? what the standard steering wheel was, etc

Thanks in advance
Paul

Your best bet would be to have a look through the brochures section here, or find magazine articles from the time

Standard they had no side mirrors and the steering wheel was the same Mk1 steering wheel from most cars

Try to get a hold of some mini experience magazines. They have some good articles about it.

The book spotlight on the mini down under book should have a few good pictures also.

Otherwise brochures and the mini build section on here should help and ask for pics.
