Does any one know how to tell the difference between a mini k and a deluxe model
I bought one as a deluxe but have the sneaky suspicion that its a K model.

Mini K has temp and oil pressure gauges, synchro on 1st gear, no overiders on bumpers, a round bonnet badge and Morris Mini 1100 badging on rear.

tell us the body number prefix, that will help. :wink:

any deluxe made after the beginning of '68 (even late '67) would have them too.... that change wasn't tied to any particular model change over, it was just a running change
