Model: Austin Mini 1000
Year: 1975
Description of problem (please be as in depth as possible): Does anybody know anything about thoose?

Recently I´ve bought a Anniversary model numberd to 183 out of 200 that was delivered to Sweden to celebrate Minin´s first 15 years over here.
But I can´t find anything about thoose cars on the web :S

What I want to know is:
Colourcode, setup of interior, were to buy new interior (The yellow one).
And were to find a new servicebook?!

Best regards

does this suggest they made the same cars for different markets withe their countries flag on the roof?

Maybe BMH at Gaydon could help you?

Perhaps it was a foreign export version of the very first UK based Limited Edition Mini, which just happened to be the 'Mini 1000 Special Limited Edition' which got launched in October 1975: -

We got it in both Brooklands Green or Glacier White and the interior trim was different to the other contemporary Mini models at the time.

Oh and back in the 1970's Minis were manufactured in several other plants around the world and not just Longbridge. So it could have been built somewhere like Belgium?

As for the items you're looking for, well e-Bay is a good start (or 'Newton Commercial' if you don't mind paying big money for a new interior).

As for the body colour: -
