Re: Irish Built Mini History and Research
ctwomey: So a CKD(?) is basically a knock down kit for foreign assembly? I've seen those before on other makes including Belgium built Chevy Camaros. It would also explain the X in the serial number and the fact that the van came with holes for LHD and RHD windscreen wiper arms. The same mistaken di...

Re: Irish Built Mini History and Research
You all bring up good ideas. My problem is it is definitely a van with side windows added. PO also said the side windows were supposedly added in the 1980's. The side windows are shamrock glass also. I would agree that someone could have mistaken the 25 as 2S but it's still not a saloon. Shouldn't i...

Newb just got an Irish 74 Estate w/ 1275cc swap
Well I haven't owned a Mini since 1995 so I'd call myself a newbie. And that one was never on the road! I do have 26 years experience with 1950's American cars and trucks. I moved to Cork from California in 2018. Then bought a house near the Ballyhoura Mountains in Co. Limerick 10 days before Lockdo...
