Hi all, Just wondering when the 850 used the later front panel, with the brake 'ducts'/cutouts. I have a rather original 850, and want to know if it has the front panel on that it should. Cheers Will. |

I think that was either late 64 or early 65. Having said that , all the 64's ive seen (including mine) haven't had the cutouts. |

My last 850 was late 64 and had the cutouts. |

I have a '62 CKD that has the cut outs, however I suspect it has had a panel replacement in its lifetime |

Mine has a body number of 59367. Not sure what month/year that would place it in, but it was sold in February 1965. Any clues? Cheers |

Somerford are usually pretty good with their timing of parts changes and they say it was 1964 in the UK, so it was probably 64 or 65 here. See here - http://www.somerfordmini.co.uk/eshop/in ... &chapter=1 They show a front panel without the cut-outs as still being available, although the part number (ALA4574) doesn't appear on the above page - https://www.somerfordmini.co.uk/eshop/i ... ucts_id=90 |

Has anyone used the Somerford product? Does it have the small base's for the indicator lights, or larger ones like the latter UK cars? Or is it a modified late model panel? |
