Post subject:  Help with 850 body number
Just picked up an ex tarmac 'Mini 1000 series' shell that was last CAMS log booked in 1997.

No ID plate. Car number on firewall is 236**. Radiator shroud number is 231**. Can only see the 'M2' but not the numbers underneath.

Has 3 screw tail lights and 850 sliding doors. Has been running a remote and can see where pudding stirer has been but welded (or factory) closed.

Not sure if it is an 850 or Deluxe body? Morris any ideas?

Have a look at the door latches on the door opening on the body which one of these

I think it is a Deluxe. Probably early 67. I could be wrong though!

Any signs of hydro pipes?
Does the firewall have an extra dent where the master cylinders sit on an LHD car?

I think you are right. Pulled the ignition switch out and has 66 number on it. Looks like holes at the rear where hydro covers were.

A 66 should be right for that car number if I am right. The other electrical items all have dates too if you can find them. Maybe the boot lock as well but on a race car this is fairly unlikely!
The firewall pressing is probably the easiest clue, along with the door latches.
