My 61 Mini Minor.

[InimiaD]

Hi all.
Been meaning to register on this forum for a while and I've finally done it.
Here's a few pics of my Minis, starting with my bog standard Morris Mini Minor built about March 61.
It's in fairly good condition with nearly all it's trim. (carpets missing)
It still has expanding foam in the sills.
It has a non original 848 engine fitted, but the previous owner had the original engine sat in the back of his garage. Result.









Not done anything to it for the moment as I'm in the middle of restoring a late MK1 Mini Traveller which should really have been recycled into a washing machine it was that bad.
I reckon the Woody deserves it's own thread because the resto has been comprehensive to say the least.

Cheers guys.
I don't know when I'll be starting the sympathetic resto although, when a new part is seen for sale, however small, I make an effort to buy it.
The Minor is at the back of the queue as regards restoration behind the woody and a MK2 S.
One thing that is puzzling me is a "stamped tag" on the bulkhead (engine bay) between the speedo hole and wiper motor. A body ID of some type.?

Here's a pic.



The chassis plate and FE number are in the usual place .Rad cowling and inner wing.

Thanks, Dai.

Oh, is it a Morris? I must be wrong then.
