What year is this door?

Post by Cole Liggett »

Trying to sort out what year mini this door would have come off? I haven’t seen one with the piece pop riveted on before. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Cole

That looks like piece taken off a later door or home made piece...and pop riveted onto the door.....
See the attached picture of a later door.
My early MK 1 Elf has the same as my picture....perhaps a 59/60 door was like yours!

The door is correct for a 1960

Thanks for the info Dermott! This door does appear to be an early door.
