Ihave joined this site to obtain as much info. on restoration as possible as these cars are deffo worth saving. the reg. no. is AYX 233B. if any fellow member knows any history on this car I would be most grateful.
Thanks all
my MK1 mini

Hi, welcome, hope you'll be putting on some photos as you go along.
I've also got a '63 SDL 850, on an "A" suffix plate.
If yours is on a "B" was it built '63 but registered '64?

hi miniminor. yes yuo are correct. I should have stated it was on a "B" plate. I have my work cut out as there had been a small internal fire. most damage was done to seats and headlining. Bodywise, all usual panels needed, but will use Heritage & MiniMachine where poss.
Nice to hear from yuo. Thanks John.
