[Jonesey]

MK1: Round Rear Lights. Moustache Grill.
MK2: Rectangle Rear Lights. Different Grill

[mk1coopers]

Rear window is bigger too

[simplyminis]

so whats a 1967 mini

[lulu85ritz]

I think that is a mk1!

[lulu85ritz]

I think they changed about 1968/9.

A '67 could be either, you have to know the difference. The rear lights are a big giveaway.

Like Dan said, a 67 could be either as the Mk2 Mini was introduced in October '67

[DeanP]

The big 1000cc engine was introduced to it's none cooper variants.

Mk1 has moustace grille and corner bumpers. Also the bonnet badge is different.


Mk2 has no corner bars and squared off grille


Mk1 has small rear lights and smaller rear window


Mk2 has squared rear lights, larger rear window and updated badges including MkII script and engine size on bootlid.


The Mk1 has a floor starter button, the Mk2 has a key switch starter, it also has better seats.

Just to confuse the issue,1967 was the year that the new reg letter was moved from Jan1 to Aug1,always odd that the italian job minis were mk1 but G reg.

[simplyminis]

Well I've been offered a mini which he said is a mk2 67 but was unsure when the change over happened

Thanks again

They were old unreigstered dealer stock, not uncommon.

Mk2's are ace, V rare really as they were only made for 3 or 4 years
