I wonder what model it is, watching another CHips ep, doing a police stake out, First scene you can see an MK1Austin Cooper S badge, but the rear shot it has clubman tail lights, and MK1, Mk2 door hinges...

English Mk11 minis (mid 1967 on) had the larger tail light and sliding window doors . The rear window was wider and the rear side windows used a different hinge. The bumpers did not have nerf bars

Our Nc mini is an English MK11 Morris Cooper S
