Not sure what to trust here. Black bumpers = City (and no tints so not 80+ super or Mayfair). Side indicators normally 85+ but older wheel trims and no arch extensions. Grille is Sept 80, so 81+ City my best guess. Can't read plate properly ...

Interesting that it appears to have been exported. I can only imagine the plate was 'borrowed' from another Mini, or this one was painted beige and used as a proper, before being sold on and exported?

If there's a 1980 Mini City in the mix, it would have been 850cc. Citys never reached the dizzy heights of 1275cc, so this one became a bodged mongrel.
