hi fellow MK1 fanatics. my name is John. I have owned a "63 MK1 SDL 850 for some time now and am now starting to restore her. Ihave joined this site to obtain as much info. on restoration as possible as these cars are deffo worth saving. the reg. no. is AYX 233B. if any fellow member knows any history on this car I would be most grateful.
Thanks all

Hi, welcome, hope you'll be putting on some photos as you go along.
I've also got a '63 SDL 850, on an "A" suffix plate.
If yours is on a "B" was it built '63 but registered '64?
regards
gav

hi miniminor. yes yuo are correct. I should have stated it was on a "B" plate. I have my work cut out as there had been a small internal fire. most damage was done to seats and headlining. Bodywise, all usual panels needed, but will use Heritage & MiniMachine where poss.
Nice to hear from yuo. Thanks John.
