Post subject:  model variations
New to the mini scene, just wondering if anyone has or can do a run down on the variation between models.

I have a 67 deluxe (i think!) and would be interested to know what other model variants were available at the time and what distinguished them apart.

cheers.

panel vans, and Mini Minor was around in '67 too - poverty pack model

I suggest you get a copy of "Mini Minor Down Under" - can buy new from the mini experience, pitstop, and occasionally 2nd hand from ebay. There are a few errors in it, but goes over the history of the aussie minis and is a very good read

or if you plan to be a hardcore Mini nut, get this book:

"Mini Minor downunder : including Mini-Cooper & Moke" by Pedr Davis

No, it was the Cooper S that was also available in '67. The Cooper finished here in 64/65.

Cheers
