A mate recently managed to pick up a totally original Morris Mini Minor (check the boot badge) that belonged to an old family friend. It is an 850 and came with an original radio, granny visor and rear metal louvres, pudding stick gear lever, rubber mats and is a YMSA 2S2 build, car number 568. The 48,000 miles is genuine and it runs sweetly, blows no smoke, no oil leaks and the gear change has no slop in the linkages. The lady in question won it on a TV show in 1966, the same year it was first registered and it still carries the same plates. It has some of our experts up here stumped when it comes to placing it in a category for show and shine. It is a very tidy unit, no dents or rust and is probably one of only a handful produced in this form. Morris1100 can probably throw more light on this model.
Here is a selection of pics I took today. As you can see the current owner has graced it with some Performnce Minilights. He only has the one complaint about it, no guts hence the purchase of Low-n-blowns beautiful Cooper S.
