I have just started to strip my Mini ready for its restoration and I am starting to collect various bits I need.
The car was built in March '61 and the heritage certificate says the interior fitted was blue/grey. I assume this would be Spanish Blue and fleck.
The car has a powder blue interior fitted which I assume was taken from a later car along with a plain grey dash liner.

Could someone please confirm which interior this should have and if it is Spanish Blue/fleck with fleck doorcards etc does any one have any for sale?

Thanks

Yup, same as this one posted elsewhere.

That one's powder blue an fleck isn't it?

Spanish blue is darker I believe.

My 1961 Morris Super Deluxe has Powder blue / fleck interior. This has been in since it was new.

I reckon Spanish blue had probably been deleted by 1961.

Thanks for the replies.
It does seem a curious mix in the car. The side and door panels are powder blue as in the link, as are all the seats (all powder blue not with fleck), except after investigation I found Spanish blue and fleck bottom rear seat underneath the powder blue cover! The rear parcel shelf is also Spanish blue.
I'm sure the panels are original-they are screwed in place on the rear quarters as is the rear back seat panel.
I wonder if this was built during a crossover in colour schemes?
I guess I now need to source some powder blue and fleck seats to make it look correct.

Doh,

I checked my 850 this weekend & it does have the Spanish blue, not Powder as stated above.

What a plonker!
