Some of us were having a discussion the other day....

Image

Some people said that the holes were probably for speakers...I have trouble believing they were stamping holes for speakers in 1963 (possibley earlier...who has a 1959 850 :?: :D ). I think it could have been used as part the jig that skewered early Minis for rust prevention and paint dipping.....

Does anyone know what these holes were for :?:

My 850 has em. I'd say they were used on the production line, as you said.

Definatly NOT speakers!

All 850s had them. Could be for a single speaker..??
Stereo was invented well after the 850, I think.
