Hey i just bought this mini off ebay and it doesnt have one of them little plates the ad said it was a 65 mini k, which it can't be cos K's werent made till a few years later but the problem is i would have thought it was a deluxe cos it has hydro suspension, but then today i noticed it has a floor starter button, which i thought deluxs had key starters? any help appreciated thanks |

Looks like a Deluxe, the button on the floor is not the starter it is the light dipper switch. Cheers Pete |

Going by the wiper drives that could be right. Cheers Pete |

yeah its a headlight dipper switch (instead of moving blinker up and down like later ones, and cars today). Looks like a delux to me, wait until some others see this as they will be able to comment on the colour as well - ie what years was available. what is the number on the radiator shround, that too can help identify the year.

To me it looks like a 69 Mini K. It has the late wiper pattern so it is made after mid 68. It has the captive nuts on the firewall for the K dash so it is after mid 69. It has a paint sticker so it was made after mid 69. There will be some numbers on the rad shroud panel. If you post them I can de-code it for you. |

According to the paint codes on ozcooper it makes it a 68 but the stamped numbers will be the giveaway. |

Yeah, the Dulux book says it is a 68 colour but the solid evidence on the car says it is a 69. If it was a 68 colour it would be stamped onto the ID plate and not stuck on with a sticker.

With no holes for the id plate plate in either of the two spots (if my eyes are calibrated) means it is a mid to late 69 (June to October maybe ??). |

That number is mini k |

That number is a 69 Mini K. (but I already told you that!  )
YG2S1 1661 Y = Australian Manufacture G = Engine capacity 1000 to 1399cc 2S = 2 Door Saloon 1 = 1st variant = Mini K 1661 = Car number = 1161st Mini K made. Because it is a low number it is fairly close to the start of production. So mid 69 is a good guess. The engine number for that car would have been something like 10YC/Ta/H/2100 give or take 200 or so. |
