The long numberplate frame would have gone with the introduction of the Mini Deluxe, Cooper S and Mini Minor in 1965. |

I think the long number plates were gone before 1965 even. I have a 63-64 Morris 850 with shorter number plate bootlid and plate holder. I also owned a 63 850 in 1970 that had small plates and it was an unmodified car. I do remember seeing a mixture of long plated 850's and short plated 850's back then and being able to say CKD (or imported) and Aust manufactured. Doc should remember - he is older than me. Mike |

I had a 'change over 850'. It was a 1965 with roll up windows and small number plate. This was original from factory. |

I think that the 850s with the short plate and wind up windows were badged Mini Minor (and tagged YMA2S3) |

They didn't make the short flap till 1965 so it would be vary hard for any earlier car to have been made with one.

64 850s had a short number plate flap......or at least the one I had did. Imported cars had long flaps because the UK didn't do short plates..... Cheers, Ian |
