Lovely cars, and great to see a basic mini

not japan ,,

had to have front seats redone,as it had wrong seats fitted(had austin deluxe items fitted in front)
ours is an export model(but never left uk) so has a different weave of cloth

we had to have it woven to suit the cars other trim pattern

if u notice ,also,basics didnt normally have the fluting rpn646 has,,
its got the same fluting as a pre nov 59 morris deluxe

seen a few ckd or export basics with different pattern cloth

dean,,is yours an early 62 basic with the fluted cloth trim or the later type with vinyl seats?

[Dean]

I have powder blue vinyl seats, as when I got the car the interior was half missing. No original seats but the door cards and rear cards were there in powder blue but were painted black.
So I guessed it would be vinyl.

It's a may 62 car. It's around the time they started to change them I think. Not 100% sure if it has a white/cream grill or chrome. But I have both just in case.

It's got bolt on seat brackets, but high seat belt mounting points. Wiper is dated 3/62

But it is a basic. No over riders or corner bars, black window rbber infill, silver face speedo,

chrome grille was autumn 61 on but my mar 62 built one looks nice with white grille so im keeping it on,,goes wel with the non std white roof

high seat belts correct to about june 63 i think
