Hello,
I’ve got a mk1 super deluxe in need of a whole rear panel, Due to the tools being changed in 1967 there doesn’t exist a panel from heritage panels with the smaller sized window, I’ve found a panel listed on mini sport as part number MCR11.12.00.00 I was curious if anyone has previously bought this panel and if it fits, knowing the issues with non genuine panels not fitting correctly. Or if anyone knows of any other panels besides what is listed on both mini spares and mini sports, I have contacted heritage panels to enquire, the panel listed on their site has the larger sized window.

It may be an M-machine panel, see section 120 item A in the link below.  M-machine list it as a converted panel, so it may be a heritage one that M-machine convert themselves.  If that is the case they're panels are usually good, they supplied all the panels my full body resto.

The fact they are pretty much the same price does smack of it being a M Machine converted panel. If in doubt ring Doreen at M machine and ask them.

I Watched a youtube video a while back ,about building a mk1 heritage shell , in the vid it shows them welding in some fabricated filler plates to create the right size window opening, they are selling repro mk1 shells so they should be able to advise you!
