I've just picked up an early 850 shell with original matching number engine. Car # 102997/10966. Engine # 8AM/U/H/292646. It has an early alloy tappet cover from what appears to be a Mini 850 Sport. That tappet cover could obviously been a later add-on, but ...? Any ID ideas from anyone? Regards. Adrian. |

Most of the ones i have seen had a chrome rocker cover and large sticker at the front like this.

It's not the alloy rocker cover that displays "Sports" is it? |

Those Oz made rocker covers were pretty common, I run the same except it has 'special' on it. |

I am picking mine to be 1964. Given that mine has higher numbers, that would appear to be about right - the wiper motor says 64 and the boot catch has a 4 in the number. Regardzzzz. Adrian |
