Seems like a nice project to get stuck into. I like the seats, I saw them a few months ago at the owners shop.
Wasn't 63 the swap over year from sliding windows to winding?
The car could still be original with whats there, not to mention how tricky it is to obtain a good set of sliders.

No , 850's had sliding window doors all the way through production (1965 I think) , the morris mini minor (YMA2S3) came out with an 850 engine and then 998 with windups somewhere in there as well .

its body is in nice condition,

i was looking at it last week at davids.

nice find!

YAY, another mini is being resurected, top stuff.
Anyone who tidies up a mini deserves a nobel prize in my books.
I like the seat, just needs blue piping to suit my car....

love the Pleather seats, i have a half leather set in my mini, and they are SO comfy!

agree with you tombo, anyone who restores a mini deserves a medal!

Hi Vicki
I hope you still like it when you see it. It's very dusty inside[ i told Neil I can water blast it] I can check for some sliding window doors for you . I know of quite a few that are not too bad, i am getting some for my '60 shell.
As for confusion of model it's serial no is
YMSA1
original eng no 8AM/U/H
It has the welded type suspension cones and single leading shoes in front.
I think that the welded cones were replaced mid 1963. Others will be able to correct me there.
The wiper date is 1/65 and my guess is the the doors/boot lid /wiper were off another car probably a 65 deluxe.
If this car turns out like neil's cooper then it's going to be a head turner. I am glad it's going to a good home as it was destined for the metal crusher when I found it.
