Hm, don't know whether my Traveller is Deluxe or not - I've got washers, an internal passenger door lock, and I think I have overriders (if somebody can explain what they are to me, just to be certain I'm not thinking of anything else :oops: ). But when I changed insurers just a few days ago, I was asked if my car was a Deluxe - other insurers may not be aware of the fact that there was even a Deluxe Minor! - and I said no, as I didn't know any better.

BTW, thankyou everyone who recommended a certain insurance company whose initials were FJ - I've just saved over two hundred quid on my insurance! :D

I don't think mine is a real Deluxe - theres no D in the serial number... Plus I have no internal parcel shelf under the dash, but I do have a passenger sun visor!

I was glad it wasnt a deluxe, as a previous minor I tried to insure couldnt find deluxe on their systems at all. It was a HUGE hassle! And yes, a certain insurer whose initials are FJ were really nice and really cheap :)

I think you have just lost the parcel shelf barry - over-riders = de-luxe.

yes, it would be. If you really want to be sure, call the Heritage trust centre in Gaydon, or pay them a visit. They have got all the cars on record there.

Apparently not if they were built at Adderley Park like mine was. :cry:

Short history of Adderley Park site, which built Travellers from July 1969 to April 1971 :-

I know that you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I am not sure you realize that what you read is not what I meant.

So no point trying to get any information from them about mine either then! So, Having a D in the chassis no means Deluxe does it?

Nobody has mentioned stainless steel door tops. I thought they were a deluxe item?
