I belive the window size changed with the rear lights on the Mk1-Mk2 change over, as this is all one pressing.

I thought it was only the Mk1's that had the small window? But it is a long time since I dabbled with minis that old so could be wrong?

Early mk1's have a straight front valance(i.e. not cut away infront of the wheels)

also the rear lights is different, the grille (mustache VS std), piano hinged rear quarters, and the early mk1 have a bootlid with a inner part similar to the later minis, and an outer skin like the regular early minis, while newer mk1 and mk2 have a double skinned bootlid.

i had a MK1 registered in Jan 1960

it also had a flush front screen seem so the window sits forward more than others

also early ones have the floor pans lapped the other way

mk 1 the front bulkhead where it meets the floor pan overlaps different to mk2 by that i mean the floor pan overlaps the bulkhead. this was changed on mk 2 as water used to runn into the footwells. also on mk 1 there is no hole for gearstick as it comes through the bulkhead. you were right about the rear windows they were changed on the mk2

this thing is well in a hedge. it looks like it was parked under a tree, by there front gate and the tree has grown a bit since. i will get some photos if i get time. and get the house number.

the address is

Cox Lane, west Ewell, Epsom, think its KT19

personaly i just go to my local mini specialist and select a car from the 50 or so in the yard. all unrestored and cheap. my van cost £300 and i put 2 small patches on the sills for the mot. now after 4 years i've had to do 2 outersills and thats it.
