Would I be correct in assuming that's a Morris 850 sedan? Engine # is 8Y/U/H 20618

Yes, Morris 850 but the engine is a Morris mini minor from a YMA2S3 I think? 848cc engine

I'm pretty keen to buy it at $14k, but trying to ascertain exactly what it is ha ha. I'll be getting it sight unseen, so a bit nervous :?

It's a fairly early mini though, right? Fair bit of mods to it, here's the description:

"Uk interior, genuine cooper dash, pearl fleck jaguar racing green, twin tanks, extractors, alloy radiator, genuine mini light, race tyres, disc brakes, heavy duty race clutch, mild rd race cam, layland GT 1275 block with genuine cooper head, forged flat top pistons, twin su carby, genuine cooper s gear box, roll cage"

No.
I have YMA2S1 55777, November 64.
My daughter has 62, 850.
So while it's an 850, I wouldn't call it early

The last Morris 850 was 60688 so one of the very last! They were 1961 to 1965

Here are a few ID plates to give you an idea of the engines issued to cars around the same era.

And a passport to service for a Morris 850 about 1400 later to give a rough date.
