Guy's I know were getting really in depth here,but is there any difference between the rolling body of a 76 model and the 78 model? Sizes,pressings,anything ?
I know in the Coopers the window sizes etc were different but I thought around that time the clubby bodies were standard. The earilier 74 models looked a lot different.

AFAIK all Oz Clubbie bodies are the same pressings that includes windows and doors.

Some of the earlier ones (pre-74) still had the roundnose rotiserie holes in them though...

They stopped rotodipping when Mini production went to Enfield. 1974?? somewhere round then.. :lol:
That's why the later ones rust more... :lol: :?

I have a 76 with the hole in the fire wall and a 78 without the hole.

They moved the bonnet prop bracket on the inner guard by a couple of inches sometime between 76 and 78.

All oz cars had the same size windows (even the cooper s) :wink:
