i dont know cause i dont know the reg all i have is the chasis number. its a mk3 onwards shell as the door hinges are internal and the only other markings on it are one limited edition stickers on each quarter panel

[Billy]

Which limited edition was it? That in itself should give a clue.

the only other info on it is it is cne colour cnc interior and is a austin mini

It could be that it's a Northern or UK car that was never registered here and that's why there's no record of it?

Can't really make out what it is from the photos...

Don't understand the above, can't see the pics as I'm not a member of the Miniforum.

To post links of pictures, please look at the topic that is stickied at the top of the General Index page.

Any chance of a few names for the companies that will insure a RWD bike-engined mini, I was looking into doing this to a mini but fell when it came to the insurance bit

I think you forgot a 0 in there somewhere.

If the colour code is CNE then that is (according to Minicolours) Targa Red - 83-88.
