hi there, i recently acquired a clubman van, i am just trying to identify the exact year of it. i have been told it is a 1976 but it has external door hinges and small rear tail lights which i have my suspicions about. i have also found a 'Chassis No' tag on it stating 3299? in photos provided.

thanks for any info.

All Aussie cars have eternal door hinges. The rear lights have been modified and set into the body but look to be the original style lights. It is in NZ?

yes it is.

had a scratch around today and found on the firewall behind the master cylinders: 4737 MV21
Also found on the radiator shroud on top: 021G2V?M09 5229. the number\letter was unreadable where the ? is.

021 = Mini & Van
G = Van
2V = 1/4 ton van
Next is probably a "1" which is base model trim
M = manual
09 = 998cc engine
5229 is the car number, looks like around early to mid 1976
