Hi folks
Looking to get a mini (roundnose) in good condition, and am considering checking out a car (1967 Morris Mini Deluxe) currently for sale in NSW.

Not sure what the protocol is on here re posting up exactly which car it is on carsales, but anyway just a couple of questions:
- did the Aus 1967 Deluxe have drums or discs?
- I've had a look around the forum and web for inspection tips and have found plenty. Any other words of wisdom to the slightly uninformed?

Thanks in advance

Cheers
Mark

G'day mate. The mini duluxe came standard with drum brakes only have disks if they've been added. And check the boot ( where the sore wheel goes) for rust the floors driver and passenger sills ( underneath the chrome strip on Evan side) for bubbling in the paint this is rust if there is bubbles. Also take it for a drive if you can to see how it handles the weather. See if it over heats or not. Hope this helps in some way

Actually, I shouldn't say that but there are going to be days when you look at it and say, "What was I thinking...?"

And then there will be the other days. The days when strangers wave, kids jump up and down, and you feel really good about yourself.
