Joining the Classic MINI Ranks

[Mac]

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!

That was the one, it was a early Christmas present to myself ?

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.

Thanks for the extra tips I would really appreciate  the pictures!

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