New Classic mini owner

Hi Neil,

Welcome to the forum.

Sounds like you have a 1100 deluxe model in your hands.
That engine is most likely the original one which came with the car.

There is an 1100 thread on here in the technical section with regards to some detail around the motor.

One day when I remember to upload them I'll post some photos on the forum of what an original 1100 supposedly looked like out of the factory.

Hi Domminique 

Thanks for the info,  This is great.

I have taken my engine out to fix oil leaks and get the head modified to take Unleaded fuel, so would very much like to put it back in looking the way it should.

Neil
