It seems a lot to me a 1993 Mini "British Open Classic" for both the tipical "British racing green metallic" paint and the canvas sun roof.

Yes, it's a 1.3i British Open Classic, but it have after-market wheels: the design of the rims is like stock wheels, but width is different.

I looked closely for British Open Classic as well but no gold logos on rear sides/boot nor gold coachline. UK BOC had black arches with no chrome trim but did have chrome door handle indents. So I don't think this is normal 1992 BOC, but have found references to a German-market-only reissue of BOC in 1996, though not for trim detail.

In Italy the only Mini came on market in the 90s with canvas top roof was the 1.3i British Open Classic in August 1992. It was this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/21924316@N02/2281790951/

I don't think it was possible to have a canvas top roof for other versions, but it actually handles, wheels and other parts do not match. Maybe it's very customized :think:

The other possibility which came in dark metallic green and had optional sunroof was German edition of 1999 Mini 40 - seems to have had different specs for different European countries.

Would this conglomeration be helpful for your discussion? Link to "suchen.mobile.de"

@ingo - thanks. Not sure yet - it's reasonably easy to get details of UK Mini editions, but not specials for markets outside UK.

Couldn't be a Classic 35 (aka 35th anniversary) with missing decals? http://digilander.libero.it/superdooper/miniguest40.html

The linked ^ Classic 35 has black plastic arch extensions, not painted and blended in as here. 1996 British Open II still my preferred ID, although because our one may have been slightly tweaked, there are a few alternatives on the table.

Neither have I. The original 1959 Mini did have 34 bhp from its 848cc, but there were no 850 Minis after about 1980 and all 90s Minis were 1275cc, so I think the mice have got into that database.

This database often defaults model names in a curious way. We've quite often found non-matching engines, 4WD traction ramdomly added and sometimes even total different models listed with correct VIN (I remember there was a Renault Super 5 listed as a BMW 3200 CS: all the technical data matched the BMW, while the VIN was correctly reported as VF1 etc.)

SAX = Rover Group
XN = Mini 1300
Y = City/Sprite
A = Saloon
X = 1300 SPi motor
M = LHD, manual
B = 1300 ("non special edition")
D = Made in Longbridge.

Well, sometimes, like here, the carter-cash data is rubbish :D apart from year and VIN. Probably the various versions of the Mini weren't imputted into their database. Anyway AG VB is OK for a 1996 issue, and usually for a car imported from other EU countries it would give the original date from the country from which it was imported, so if it was a German market car was imported as new :think:

Edit: Alex was faster :D

What editions of Mini were available in Italy in 1996? VIN suggests something based on an entry model 1.3 version with injection (non-Cooper).

From March 1996 price list, the range was composed of British Open Classic, Balmoral and Cooper (plus the Cabriolet). They had no optional on the price list except the metallic paint. I'm absolutely not a Mini expert, but couldn't it be simply a British Open Classic for Italian market?

Often the simplest answer is the best one.
