I'm confused by this one. No quarterlights so not Innocenti. Mk2/Mk3 rear lights, and no exterior door hinges, so Mk3. Simple hub caps should mean 850, but I can't think of any Mini with perforated rims like this. Some Minis had wheel trim rings with perforations in various formats, but not the wheel itself. Cooper S had perforated wheels, but smaller holes and fewer of them, plus widened rims. Authi don't seem to have done this either.So UK built Mini 850 Mk3 my best idea, but unable to explain the strange wheel format. |
