Hi, would like some advice on the restoration of my 1963 Austin mini super deluxe. After a massive amount of work to get the shell done I'm ready for paint but want to get the spec of the car as close to original as possible. I have sent off for a heritage certificate and technical spec sheet. It is currently smoke grey with a white roof - did they have a white roof or was it an option at all? Should the wheels be silver or white? It has welded steel trumpets were these correct on a 63? Unfortunately my interior isn't correct and think it's from a 70's mini would any one know what colour interior it should have against smoke grey? It had bits of rubber type flooring in it. It only has a single speedo and from what I've searched it should have 3 binnacle?? Any other super deluxe info would be very helpful. I appreciate that's a lot to ask in one go. Thanks Danny
