Hi all this is my new project June 1960 Morris mini deluxe has had the same owner since 1977 and dry stored since 1984. Registered with a 1275 although originally would have had an 850cc. Car hasn't got the engine my plan is to build a 1275 a + with +20pistons 1293 high compression engine and couple up with a wand box and looking to build that with close ratio straight cut gears and twin H4s other than the engine and the fact it's already got cooper s disk setup the car will be going NG back to stock I will be on the loom out for parts as and when I discover what I need. So far I know I need chrome window catches for the drivers door and plastic drivers door kick plate
