Kent....

Early 68s (mine per the VIN) do not have headrests.   There were no MKIII
Midgets in 1964.   Could you be thinking Sprite instead of Midget?  I don't
think the headrests came until 1969 or 1970.

Per Clausager's book....
First MKII    G-AN3/25788   March 1964
First MKIII    G-AN4/52390   October 1966

First 12CC-DA-H 1275cc engine went into G-AN4 Midgets in late 1966. Only 15
LHD Export versions of the 1966 G-AN4 1275cc cars were built in late 1966.

First 10CG-DA-H 1098cc engine went into G-AN2 MKI Midgets in late 1962.
Early 1962 MKI Midgets were G-AN1 MKI Midgets with the 9CG-DA-H 948cc
engine.

Cheers!!
Jim
