I've had a go at cleaning up all the Minxes for identifying models and dates, but probably worth a revisit with an admin to standardise the terminology.

The reason why the mk/phase/etc. is not set automatically like for many others is that it depends on the years: there were phases, then later series. But indeed I do not know why there are some listed with "mk", and it seems to be duplicate of "phase" In such case someone may indeed rename the "mk" ones. -- Last edit: 2011-01-14 14:59:45
