As you can see from the script on the boot lid and detect from the registration number this is a quite early Austin Seven. The registration year is probably 1961, BMC persisted in trying to call the car a "Seven" but the public named the car "Mini" after the Morris version which was called the "Mini-Minor". BMC eventually gave up trying to convert the great British public and dropped the make names, just calling the car "Mini" |
