All Oz Mini boot lids from 1965 on are the same, all that varies is where the badge holes are put. :wink:

Cooper S also has many small drill holes around the inside of the bootlid to mount the fibreboard boot cover.

OK , that's an early bootlid that was mostly on morris 850's and 997 coopers , I think it had changed by the time 998 coopers were released but not sure . Basically it's a UK bootlid made to take their wider number plates .

They are mostly off 850's but the very first cooper's in Aust had them too I think before they switched to the australian number plate width somewhere around 1964 . They are fairly rare now mainly due to the age and often twice the cost of a good normal bootlid .

You've got to find one first , and find one without rust as they haven't been used for about 43 years or more . I've seen them go for around $150 to $200 but you can always be lucky and get them cheaper .
