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!

Re: Another Dodgy Mini
Would be interesting to see the Vin... What did they start stamping them on the scuttle panel?
Signature still awaiting top-coat and lacquer....

Re: Another Dodgy Mini
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.

Re: Another Dodgy Mini
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
