Joining the Classic MINI Ranks - Mac - 01-04-2018
Good day everyone
As I am currently the owner of a 2008 Clubman JCW,I am proud to announce I have joined your ranks of classic MINI ownership. With the purchase of a 1972 MINI non runner that has been on axle stands since 1993 when it last drove awating a restoration.
I was told it was a 850cc but have gladly been told its an 1100cc "Big bore". I look forward to bringing this old Madala back up to speed with the help of this forum!

Lovely looking Mini. Would be great if it's restored.

Welcome to classic mini ownership!
That looks like a decent starting point.
Definitely a big bore motor.
If you have a look at the date on the wiper motor or on the boot stamp you should be able to correctly date it, provided none of these items have been changed.
I don't think much of that car has been changed though which is always a pleasure.
I have some photos of original 1100 deluxes if your interested - seems you have that model.

Definitely looks like an 1100 Deluxe to me as well. Beautiful car mate, welcome to the forum.
