| Post subject: | ID this car |
I saw this posted of a Facebook site and the responses were very confusing. The owner said it was one of the first wind down window minis in the country. I am thinking a late 850 that has had an engine transplant, re registered 3 years after originally sold and badged as a deluxe. YMA2S1-5-3093 = a late Mini 850 YMA2S1 53093 around Oct 1964? 9WRUH 16075 = 998cc engine from a Wolseley Hornet or Riley Elf? ETU064 = NSW rego from 1968?

G'day GTOGreen, this one is a tin of worms, but I'm pretty sure the ETU rego is from 1967, as I recall us buying two cars in early 1968 where the plate numerals went back to starting with an "A", & in 1966 my Mum bought a new car ENT, so 1967 seems to fit? |

I wonder sometimes if the was registered at low turn around registry the sequence may not correspond with high turn over offices |

Any ideas on what the car is? I am presuming a late 850. Badged as a deluxe with a Hornet/Elf motor. |

After 50+ years anything is possible. I once bought a deseamed Deluxe with a 998A+ Rover motor in. |

If we assume the build number is correct at YMA2S1 53093 this would make it September 64 model. The correct engine should have been around 8Y/U/H 12600. The current engine, at the date of the rego papers, number 9WR/U/H is interesting in that 9WR is definitely a 998cc Rilet Elf engine, someone has updated the 848cc to 998cc. I replaced the plates on my first car early in 1969 and they were ARW, a chap I went to school with had an Anglia which was registered ESS in 1968 |

could the engine have been a spare part one back then? |

Back then if you bought a NEW block or motor from BMC it had NO stamped numbers. I bought 2, a 997 block, and a Morris 1100S 1275 short motor. I'd say someone's fitted a S/H Riley elf motor sometime after original registration., before 1967. |
