Hello Reg and ODK members,
Welcome to the ODK Forums. This is a nice little MK4 Minor.
These were fully imported (never built in Australia).
This was the first domestic Ransomes to be imported post WWII.
The first records I have date from late 1947 and the last ones to mid 1951.
This machine was replaced with a completely new design in late 1951.
Your machine is missing a couple of bits I see - the chain case cover and flywheel cover.
These are good machines to restore, with serviceable engine parts available.
