Cowl # 1106

I know its a Morris Mini Matic. What bloody year was it made?

The wiper motor has this on it: 62971016B DR3A 12V 5 67

I would have thought its a May 1967? I think its the original motor.

The boot lock has nothing stamped on it.

Did anyone ever find out the complete history of the Morris Mini Matic in OZ?

Production of the Matics started in November 1967. I would guess that it would be an early 68 built car.
Which way to the wipers park?

Not long after the wipers went to RH park with the recessed cowl, the `matic body prefix changed to YA2S5.
I had 2, a 69 and a 70 with this later prefix.

Im not having a go at ya!!!!

Its just that only leaves a 2 month window for the car to be built in 1967. Im not 100% sure if the wiper motor is original or not as it has 5 67 on it. I would have thought that was May 1967.

Its has nothing stamped on the boot latch, so the other place to look would be the wiper/headlight switches then? Any other locations?

According to http://www.miniauto.com.au/home.htm the Matic started in Jan 1968.
I guess that could be selling dates.... they may have been assembled previously.

I dont have the engine/box, but as i said its Malmo Green in colour, which im led to believe was only used in 1967 and 1968?

The ID tag says the engine number is 99H119/H/365
