Looking for an old mini

Post by Pete »

Hi all,

Im trying to see if I can find a mini that my girlfriends dad used to own.
He would love to find it but he has had no luck yet.

As far as I know its an austin cooper, red with a reg IZE 324.

If anyone can help it would be great :D

He lived down in westmeath when he owned it.
I will double check the reg tomorrow, there is a pic of it hanging in the kitchen.

That is an early 60's reg.
If it hasn't been on the road for years then it won't show up on Cartell or Motorcheck

Ìs there anyway of telling of what county it is from? Just out of interest!

It's an old Dublin reg from 1963 - 1964.

Everything you could possibly want to know about regs seems to be here:
