Hi Paul,
It sounds like you have a 1979 Mini 850 Super De Lux. They were only produced from July 1979 to August 1980, they were the last of the 850 Mini's and were the transition model, having the trim from the Mini 1000 which was the 850's replacement.

If anyone has a copy of the Lindsey Porter book there might be some info there, could they post the details ?
Just try googling it I suppose.
