with this topic I would like to see if I can find some history of the Mini I bought.

It is an Austin Mini Super de Luxe MK1, according to it's VIN-number it's from 1962.
It is transferred to the Netherlands in 1991 but has never been put on Dutch registration.

The Englisch reg.plates call CMM-529A (Okt. 1963).

The previous Englisch owners were:
Paul Andrew Anderson from Colchester and also Sylvia Karol Maddock from Colchester.

I know it's al long shot to try to find some information this way, but it's worth al try...
Looking forward to see some reactions.

some pictures!

Wow

Looks like it's in fantastic condition.

A Heritage Certificate would give you all the information you're looking for: -

Would it be cheeky to ask how much you paid for that

Heritage certificate, as above, would be your best bet mate

Thanks, i´m going deeper into this Heritage certificate!

I´ve paid 750 Euro for the car. It´s complete, but disassembled and stored in boxes.
Also there were a 80´s Mini in boxes including the purchage. (this was bought by the previous owner to make it LHD )

About the conditions...
At first sight it look pretty good, but as on every Mini there are a few points...

There is no original Front mounted (it has to be pre-64 - full skirt - front), dent in the wing... This means a complete new nose

The sills are repaired by a semi proffesional, these need some attention.
Butt the worst is the back, the boot is repaired by a semi-semi proffesional
Which means that al the rearsubframe-mountingpoints are in need of some attention.

Still, 750 euro for a MK1 that old in that condition = bargain

Looks good, any luck with the heritage certificate yet?

Ah ok, sorry forgot it was only posted last night

[Carlien]

It´s oke!

but with the certificate you also know the original color?
At the moment it looks a bit like blue or grey.
The V5 document says grey, but I think it's blue, the interior is also blue-ish?!

Im pretty sure it tells you the exact specification of the car as it left the factory, so colour should be on there But having never seen one, I cant say for sure.

[Carlien]

ah oke, nice, will look for that tomorrow!

It would be funny if the original color is surf blue!
I always wanted one, a month ago my 88 red hot, is re-sprayed in that same color!

[miniman24]

Mmmm surf blue

Probs my second favorite colour, Diamond White being the first! You going to start a project page?

[Carlien]

If you are interested I have a Dutch project page about my 88 red hot..
