That may be a bit hard to answer as there wasn't an 1100 sport produced by the factory , I'd suggest it's been someones custom work or a dealer modified car , what is the number on the plate on the firewall , the one that say's car type ? As for the spoiler , no Australian produced mini's had a front spoiler as standard .

u reckon it could be an import cause its badge says mini sport 1100 and as for the body plate well its worn away cause the writing is so hard to see

No , looking at your photo's in the members gallery it looks like an Australian produced mini K (had the 1100 motor standard) according to the bonnet badge . If the boot badge says 1100 sport then it's likely to be an English badge of some form added by a previous owner . I'm not sure of the badge's origin , somebody else with experience with the UK mini's might recognise the 1100 sport badge . The car type number on the plate will confirm what model it is .

probably a home-made badge - just using a clubman badge surround with a home-made insert. Or might be from a UK model

The body is Australian production (LH parking wipers and ext. door hinges), it's a custom dash with all those guages etc.

being a K, theres a good chance there was no ID plate installed from the factory - inbetween when the ID plate was deleted, and the ADR plate came in...

what's the number stamped on the radiator shroud?

With mini's of that age , the id plate will most likely be on the firewall behind the master cylinders , could be behind a sound deadener blanket .
