Well, I've Been in bed with the flu since Thursday afternoon. Wife comes in saying 78 Mini in the paper $700. jumped outa my sweatbox and into the car. Seller hasn't started it for 4 years. Turns out it was just down the road. Didn't haggle. Good price. Wife said it was Orange. Turns out it is a matalic blue. Can't remember the name. Anyone remember where colours list is?

http://www.ausmini.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=66469 Is the only collection of colour charts I know of. It looks like it only goes up to 72 though.. If it's original colour is orange, it would likely be Home on Th'orange wouldn't it? |

Silver Blue Metallic is the light metallic blue from that time (same as the 998LS) Squadron Blue is the regular blue from 78. |

Thanks All. Morris 1100, right you are. Under the bonnet's a Sqadron Blue label. Previous owner has painted it a similar matalic. The engine bay, floor etc are the Sqadron Blue. I must say I'm pleased as I'm not crazy about matalics. Details are: 99H889AJH0029## Firewall is stamped 16418 M2 22 behind M/Cylinders Comp plate XNHAB1 / 1048## 10/1978 Positive earth taco, speedo & fuel / temp White seats Red S badge on grill Threw in a battery, some new petrol, Cranked it over and went for a burst around the block. Great note to it and a suprise compared to 850. Is this what we call a clubman? I presume it's a standard 998 How close is this to the last productions? Thanks All Alex. |

It is a Leyland Mini S. It would be fairly close to the end of production. Production ended in October 78 but they were still sticking compliance plates on for a couple more months. The very last Mini has the number 105303. |

JUSTIN. So did I. I noticed a red tag on the floor/battery earth lead. Checked the terminal size. Hooked it up (only way leads would fit) And started and ran. Alt light went out as expected. I checked for stickers under the bonet. Cheers Alex. |
