I know of a restoration on a 1962 Super Mini Delux, my question is, what makes it a super delux, now the historians can use some of their wealth of knowledge, all I have been told is that it was known as "the poor mans Cooper" is that right and what period items should he be looking at for the resto. |

In the UK they had the normal poverty model Mini and then they had a fancier Mini called the Super De-Luxe with better trim, a heater, inside door handles, etc. Australia just had the normal poverty Mini 850 but they did use the Super De-Luxe inside door handles instead of the pull cords. |

Some of the early cars were identical to a cooper except no discs or cooper motor and I know the Austin ones had vertical bars on the grille |

Cool, keep the info coming I might pick up something he doesn't know about his resto, Google is OK for some things but the knowledge found on here is something else. |
