Early Australian assembled CKD 850 , the roof slits like that are the UK type and the body was pressed in the UK but assembled here from a Complete Knock Down kit . Without starting the other computer to check the numbers I'd say first 1/2 of 1961 built . Very cool , is it in your yard now or still where you saw it ?

While you`re there, check the ignition switch panel & see if it`s flat--> IE: no recesses for the switches

nice one, well done, give it to me :-)

it's a bit hard to tell from the pics, but the rear windows look like they have the very early type of catch ,thinner[width of the arm] than later type.
check the door hinges and see if the pin that it pivots on has a domed head on top. If they have ,have a scratch at the paint to see if they are brass.
Another thing is the rear arms either cast type or pressed halves welded together.
If it has the speedo housing, is it black. if so it could be a early pressed cardboard type

It will be interesting to see if it still has the original donk.

Mate, you realise of course when you replace those rusty rivets on the compliance plate your warranty will be buggered. :lol:
