Hey Guys, picked up a new mini on the weekend and was wondering if someone can tell me the year and month it was built. As I can't find any build date numbers anywhere. ITs badged as a Mini Deluxe and I'm told is original with matching engine. It has rh park wipers which I'm guessing makes it a bit earlier. Cheers Rhys. |

Does it have the early or late floor pans? Spare wheel retaining bracket. |

According to ID plate and engine number is a matcing numbers deluxe. Wiper motor Is 850. Body number and ID plate number are nearly 600 apart. They are usually around 500, but i reckon close enough to be correct. so matching numbers deluxe, what yr I have no idea. Delux was released in 65. Check ALL Lucas electrical items as they have dates on them. Find the range and then choose a date in there somewhere. |

Late 65 early 66 Deluxe. It should have the later firewall pressing, the earlier floor pressing and the spare wheel retainer. |

Thanks guys. I'll take some better photos of those bit on the weekend. But there isn't much left of the floors or boot floor. But I do know it has a spare wheel retaining bracket, |

Shouldn't that be April 1966 ? |

Hi, What is the "later firewall pressing" referred to by Morris 1100? What is the difference between early and late for cars of the 60's? |

So April 65? I to want to know the difference in firewall pressings. And the floor pressings. I'm guessing the early floor pessings have a channel for hydro lines where as the late ones don't.. |

I think it was mid way through deluxe production the floor pressing changed to the same as what you clubman and van would have. I'm unsure about the firewall though. |

Although John has answered already, the horn push is dated on the back as well. |

It isn't April 65. They were still in four digit numbers in April 65. I'm sure John meant 66. |

It was a fat finger fault - should be 1966 |
