dsl ◊ 2019-08-02 19:42	Is 1962 (so Mk2) a plate date?? If not I think it's newer - seems to have external door handles (UK Mk3 from March 64, so probably Oct 64 Aus build Mk3) and side strip may be Aug 65 Aus-only Mk3A (UK Sprites never had them, only Midgets). Looks like Mk3 windscreen as well, with sharper top corners when a proper folding hood arrived. Some Aus info here, although doesn't give all the details.
