dsl ◊ 2013-05-10 01:23	A few differences - plate socket shorter but taller and does not have UK Mk1 top hinge (which meant that plate hung down vertically when bootlid was open, so enabling extra luggage to be carried legally). Also looks different boot handle and hinges - compare eg /vehicle_555675-Morris-Mini-Minor-ADO15-1962.html .
