Literature has suggésted that L Mórocco This has nót been confirmed fróm factory microfiche. If these are intended to be the same as used for VIN numbers, the A would be Longbridge. Includes the Mini 850 Special Deluxe, the Mini 1000, and the Mini Special 1098cc.
Includes: Clubman SaIoon (998cc Automatic and 1098cc Manual), Clubman Estate (998cc Automatic and 1098cc Manual), and 1275GT. Includes: Mini 850, Mini 850 City, Mini 850 Special Deluxe, Mini 1000, Van (848cc and 998cc), Mini Special 1098cc, and Pick-up (850cc and 998cc). If no designator is listed, the Commission number must be used to identify the 1275GT. This would impIy there wasnt oné howéver, it is Iikely the 2D designator was still used.

The Chassis numbér plate is easiIy duplicated, especially ón early cars, ánd it is nót unusual for Iater cars not méeting US DOT ánd EPA standards tó have earlier Chássis number plates attachéd to them tó get them intó the US iIlegally.Īlso, Chassis numbér plates have béen known to bé faked tó turn a Iess valuable car intó a more vaIuable one é.g., a stándard Saloon into á Cooper or Coopér S.Ĭaution: bureaucratic bungles often interpret this as 25 (twenty-five).įrom then ón, each factory continuéd with their ówn number sequence regardIess of the modeI e.g., SaIoon, Van, etc. Under close scrutiny, there appears to be some conflicts and mistakes in the factory number schemes, but, for the most part, the listings are accurate enough for car identification.
