SMM/16712 would have been manufactured around April/May 1949. Your car should also have circular rear lamps and not the larger rectangular ones.

1 THE WINDSCREEN HAS A SLIGHT DIP IN IT IN THE CENTRE, IS THAT NORMAL

How do you mean a dip? Also, do you mean in the centre of the total screen area or an individual one?

AND ALSO THE BONNET ALONG THE BULKHEAD HAS A CURVED EDGE

If you mean it's shorter than the later style bonnets and it does not meet the rain gutter (like the later ones) then this is correct for an early car.

If you could take some pictures of the problem areas we can tell you if it's 'normal' or if there is a problem.

THANKS FOR INFO, YES IT HAS THE CIRCULAR REAR LIGHTS AS REGARDS THE STLIT SCREEN, THE DIP IS ONLY MINIMAL ON THE CENTRE STAY OF THE GLASS AREA SOMEONE OUT HERE AT SOME STAGE HAS HAD A HARD TOP WELDED ONTO IT PROBABLY AGAINST THE MONSOON RAINS, THIS WILL BE COMING OFF VERY SHORTLY, HAVE TAKEN VARIOUS PHOTO'S YESTERDAY, AND WILL BE UPLOADING THEM FOR ALL TO SEE SOONEST OPPORTUNITY
ALSO ONEBAY AM LISTING MANY SPARES FOR ALL TYPES OF MINORS AS SRI LANKA IS A MINOR HEAVEN THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF MMS OUT HERE FROM ALL AGES, I EVEN KNOW OF THREE MORE MINORS OLDER THAN MINE
