I have a round nose mini with no id plate
but it has the burstproof lift up door handles and the remains of a 3pot clubbie dash and clubbie tail lights and twin tanks
any one got any clues
have seen one other like it here in melb have heard of a couple of others around

I have one that fits that description....it' a 77 or so with a round nose stuck on probably not the answer you were after but it is a possibility .

what shape is the switch panel in the centre of the dash?

did I tell you that I won a trophy?

clubman switch panel and dash

This is intersting, hasn;t a simmilar mini been described here before? Could it be Half Clubman half Round nose, during change over period? sounds like a job for Captain Watto!

Do you have some body numbers may help with ID

What type of front seatbelts does it have and where are they mounted (retractables inside the rear pockets ?) , are there extra holes near the rear seatbelt top mounts on the parcel shelf (child restraint bolt holes) ? Do the inner guards in the engine bay look to have been welded , joined or reshaped ?

on the remains of the shroud

YKA2S1 is a Mini Cooper.

A genuine Mini Cooper Clubman perhaps?

Does it have any numbers on the firewall near the master cylinders?

after various people looked at the numbers (usual clear stampings )
what i took to be an 8 is an S
there is a number on the firewall near the mastercylinders 26290(c).
the seat belton the passenger side is bolted through the B pillar there is no mount on the drivers side.
the car used to be a race car.?
no mount in the back?

Ok, on the firewall just behind where the master cylinders would go on a left hand drive car (where the heater hoses come out), is there a pressed recess to clear the tin tank cylinders?

Any chance of some photo's of the door latches on the B pillar , do they seem factory fitted or bodgied ? What does the front valance look like , with the cutout at either side (blue one below) or full width (green one) ? Does it have holes drilled in the internal edge of the roof where hood bows would have been or a hole from a self tapper on each side above the B pillar (850 style 2 piece hoodlining) ?



No seatbelt mounts in the back points to pre 67 (or is it 66 , can't remember now , someone else will confirm) I think .

_________________

It has lift up handles so the 850 vs Deluxe door latch theory will not help!

the front valance has the cut out there is a recess in the fire wall have taken some photos but the camera went flat,will put them up as soon as it is charged.door stricker plates look good

that's why I asked did it look bodgied or factory . NAV has (or had , not sure if he's still got it) an 850 shell that's been bodgied to take the burst proof latches .
