Aus Minis got the 1098cc engine for 1969-71 to become the Morris Mini 1100 and Mini 1100 De Luxe, still as [YDO5]. This looks plain trim - minimal chrome, basic hubcaps, plain bumpers. Am unsure if plain 1100 had normal slatted grille or the (ex-Cooper) De Luxe barred grille as here, but nothing else suggests De Luxe. For reference - the 1100 was a Mk2 Mini in line with UK dates/phasing, but Aus did not adopt the UK body changes - bigger rear lights, grille shape, larger rear window etc. |

Update - as far as I can tell from some slightly ambiguous book references, the 1100 De luxe was actually marketed as the Morris Mini K, alongside the plain Mini 1100 as this example. |
