Definitely a post 71 Mini in that picture! :lol:

Switches and door windoww glass marking give it away :shock:

Looks like a 90's Mini with a dodgy retro fit centre binacle, it sticks out too far!

Or am I being an 'anorak' :shock: :lol:

**Edit, you beat me by 2 mins Spraycanmansam, now you're the anorak! :lol: **

The Mk 3 mini with wind up windows etc. was released in 1969 in the UK, so it is very possible that the cars in the real bank job had wind up windows. however, you are quite correct with the comments about the switches - at least a 1980 Mini.

Yeah, no quarter vent window, I don't even know what door that is and the centre binnacle is pointing towards the roof.

I wouldn't expect it to have quarter windows. Aussie cars are the only ones that got it.
(though there are some exceptions in the UK like in some of the Radford or Wood & Pickett cars).
