VZH540 is listed on motorcheck.ie as a 1965 grey Morris. This yoke is clearly a post-1986 Mini with internal door hinges and the post-86 indicators on the front wings. Nothing 1965 but the logbook. Buyer be very aware!

I think it was around 80-81 when they started stamping the VIN number into the scuttle when the VIN plate changed to "BL CARS LTD"

I could be wrong of course. Mine is an '81 with the scuttle stamped.

That reg is for a 1098cc Mini, probably a late registered "Special"

887FIP clearly has post-1986 front indicators. Engines, dashes, and wheels are easily changed but nobody ever adds later wings unless they were there day one.

There some nice door pull handles! Think it should read 1997 rather than 1979
