Mine's a Mk2 but the engine number on the block has long gone and the radiator cowl long cut off to add a wider radiator. It was originally an all red car (now all jet black) with all black interior and carpets bought in Sydney and sent to a local specialist who added a Webasto sunroof and the (then) new look Clubman tail lights, dash top and bottom, and heater. It has the boot board brackets, but what else identifies it?
I do have a compliance plate (not on the car) which says:
4 - 5A -7 -20
Morris 12/70 YG2S4 2788
Is this the right plate, and whereabouts on the Mk 2 did it fit (bulkhead, inner right wing where?)
The plate for 2788 would be a rectangle type and fitted behind the booster like this -

You should still have the 2/06 body build code with a number around 2288. This body code was located in 2 areas. Firstly in the drip rail gutter directly above the wiper motor and then it moved to the firewall behind the master cylinders usually above the binnacle nut and hidden beneath the paint sticker. The stamping may have moved back to the gutter again in later cars so check both areas.
