Think it's from around 1966 or so, top of the page is missing. Found under 2 layers of old lino.

good find, wish someone had a pic of the minis on The Newport Motors roof.
I always remember seeing them up there as a kid.
Think there was a van, sedan and cant remember if a ute too?

Newport motors are still around and still sell BMC parts, inc a fair bit of NOS.

chop, if they are still around someone near there may be able to ask them for a picture, I am sure they would have one somewhere. I'd ask them if they still have any original rear window stickers too. Some yards even had their own number plate surrounds and kick plates with embossed logos.

Symmonds Place, Royal Park. It's off old port road back a couple of streets.
Not too sure but one of the mini's they had was one that was stretched. Extra bit added into it. The car I think is now sitting on a container at Gawler motor werckers. I will get a pic of it tomorrow.
There are a couple of others around that were modified, the shell servo at port wakefield had a mini ute that was turned into a semi trailer set-up.
