Thanks for the photos.

Door pocket carpet and front pocket "kick" panel look original. Door straps look like a cheap conversion probably to relace a broken original one.

Rear quarter windows are Mk II (English) and would be correct for either "Mk I" or "II" W-1000. Seat belt is a later style. Original would have hung on a clip above where your's mounts. The original mounting spot has what looks like a home made replacement hanger. I remember the originals as being plastic and fragiile.

The switch panel has taken quite a beating!

The seats are definitely not original. No idea what they are out of.

I have also recently acquired a Wolesely Mini here in South Africa. I am not sure of the number yet but it is one of the 400 made in South Africa. The car has been stripped and garaged for a long period of time and the body is rust and dent free and still in brilliant condition. I have all the original parts with exception to the original engine which was transferred to another mini in 1983 but I have a few engines to choose from in my collection. I have a complete 1275 GTS motor, standard 1275, a 1071 cooper s, a few 1000's (Austin) and even a Morris 850. I am keen on putting the GTS motor into the Wolseley along with the disc brakes etc. The 1071 Cooper is complete with clocks, tanks, rear boot number plate, etc - just missing a good outer hinge body. Once I begin with the project I will post pics and keep an update on its progress.

Can't wait to see the progress, and welcome to the forum!

Thank you. I was wondering why I couldn't post any photos. There are some photos of my car earlier in this thread in the Wolseley across America story, when Chuck initially brought it to the US.

Hi I have a Wolseley 1000 1966 that is in 100% original condition that I got from my grandfather after he passed away and I would like to know what is the value of the car.

Thanks

1966 is too early for the car to be a South African Wolseley 1000. Are you sure about the year? A photo or two might help.

Still too early. Not available until September 1967.

There are photos at the beginning of this thread.
