Wanted to know if anyone had some info and could enlighten me to the exact yr. also how long can the engines run for mine is on 80k but had work done recently. cheers dudes

Hey dude! :tongue:

Welcome to TMF! :grin:

I don't know much about specific engines but i do know that mini engines will pretty much run and run and run if looked after properly. Did the car come with much service history? what work has it just had?

Sure you'll find all the help you need here anyway! :cool:

Engine number might help verify what engine it is, and therefore the age. Also do you know what Mark it is? Any pictures available?

Welcome to TMF by the way!

Welcome to the Forum, Rambo! Nice looking Mini... and the number plate calls it a 1978! (The 'S' on the end identifies the age.)
