Starting a1976 Australian Leyland Morris Mini Clubman Estate

The first starting of our "new" Australia Leyland Mini Clubman Estate (I think)... right handed drive... from Australia. Or it may be a Mini Estate. This is when my son first started it... it was sitting in a driveway in Seattle for two years. Now it is "home", and boy is my son excited! Unfortunately, in trying to start it a second time, I fried the silinoid (spelling), so it won't start. Anyone know where I can get parts in the USA for this? And it feels like the brakes are locked up. But all in all, for being a 1976, it's in GREAT shape. Also, there is some debate on if it is a Clubman Van, or an Estate Van (it does have rear side and back windows) Or a Clubman Estate. It has external hinges, but pull up door handles mark it as definitely from Oz! The paint sticker inside says "Yellow Devil". After years of having 3 minivans, I finally have a Mini van! Or maybe it's a Mini Estate? BTW, my son says in the video "a Mini Cooper". It's not a Mini Cooper. It's a Morris Mini.

hi

where abouts do you find the paint sticker inside?

im trying to get some new paint mixed and the only sticker with the right type of code for paint that i see is near to where the passengers door latches but when i asked the mixing shop they said they couldnt find a paint with that code.

thanks

it was under the hood/bonnet on the left hand side toward the front. If you look at my sticker it probably has the name of the company in Australia.. .maybe you could order it from them.

thanks for the reply.

I think that maybe mine has been removed or came off at some point over the years cos i just cant see it anywhere.

i might just have to take a door or sumin off and try to get a paintshop to mix something up that way.or a full respray.

thanks again
