Many minor mistake in a few things, but I won't complain they did a pretty decent job - for not being mini experts.

Yeah, my 1965 Deluxe weighs around 650kg. I didn't realise the extra carburettor and second fuel tank weighed so much!

Earlier on the stated 690kg

then later 990kg. I'd go with the 690kg.

And other things like Aussie built 64 'S' I'm 99.99% sure OZ S was 65 onwards.

Also saying the interior is cramped well I've been in other small cars and have to say the mini is equal or better in all cases that I've come across.
