hi Guys,
just wondering if the number stamping on the radiator support for the 1969 Mini Cooper S has the same size font and style from the first to last number?
ie is the YG2S4 the same size as the 5??? number stamped after?

thanks in advance

From memory they are usually two different sizes, depths and fonts.

oh ok, the font on my mini is smaller on the yg2s4 and the number stamping after is slightly larger font

just a pedantic point on that, if you have a car with YG2S4 and then 4 digits starting with a 5, then there's something dodgy going on, those numbers didn't go past 3000 (actually 2919 or something)

and my numbers are the same font I think

oops my bad, it starts with a 5 but is only 3 numbers 547

Early one.
Does it have a body plate like the MK1 S

no its only got the stamping on the radiator support, and a number stamped in the channel above the wiper motor

Thanks. I think that was the case for the first 6 months or so. I have seen a couple with Mk1 Body Plates but they have all looked too clean to be original. Probably the owners wanting to have a plate on there for looks.

With my GT I know it is YG2S8 looks like a set stamp evenly spaced etc, and then the numbers afterwoods are in a different size and look hand stamped
