The seats and panels needed a good clean and had some sort of black paint in places.

Replacement panel ?

Nuffield Motor Products ? Washwood Heath?

Nuffield Metal Products. They made bodies for other parts of the Nuffield empire, including the body of my J type van, as well as Morris Minors, and apparently early Minis.

edit: sorry, hadn't realised Graham had replied first.

Hi Tim, no worries, yours was the more 'complete' answer!

Cheers

Thanks for the info guys very helpfull

so is this the original front panel then ?

I think so. NMP is mentioned several times in the book "MINI: The True and Secret History of the Making of a Motor Car" by Simon Garfield, especially in the chapter titled "'This car is going to leak', said Jim Percival". It actually says "...Nuffield Metal Products, who built the bodies for Morris...". I don't know what proportion they built though.

Is the mileage to be believed on the speedo?

Probably not I have no service history for it and apparently was last on the road in 84

Mine has the same stamp. Traced and documented as a 62 Morris Mini.
