Hi Eveline, welcome!
Its a late car, after 1964 I'd guess. If you can post the chassis number I could tell you more exactly. Looks like an Irish built one, they had grill and wheels painted body colour and wee shamrocks on the glass were the British kite mark would be on a British built one.


Too many Minors so little time.....

in ireland you have to get lots ,well 3 forms filled out and posted ,which is taken ages , just to get a new log book
Glad its not like that over here as you get a section of the log book to hang onto until the new one arrives and of course you can see all the details before the old one is sent of, but if you put the chassis number up David I am sure will help.
Just a thought do you have any paperwork with it to tell you the chassis number if not do you know where to look ?

Sometimes if you look up under the dash behind the steering wheel on original minors theres a paper tag label on the wiring loom with an assembly date on, so its got to be later than that date.
I'll see you on the otherside'!

Lots of componants are date stamped or labelled in some way or another. The risk is that after so many years, parts could have been changed. The wiring loom is a safe bet though as these tend to just be replaced with new (rather than second hand) if at all.....
Good tip from leyther8008 :-)
