I have been doing a little more research and came across this paint identification thread,
viewtopic.php?f=25&t=66469 - very helpful.
My ID plate specifies the colour of my car was all over Toga White. It is interesting to note that Toga White was not an option for 1967, the year my car was manufactured. Was this normal for the paint colours to cross into other years? My car was white but according to the charts it should be Snow White?
Justminis had a theory that his ID plate, engine number was stamped from the back due to his car being a special order black car.
If the available BMC colours did not cross into other years, but you wanted to order a previous colour or special colour, for what ever reason, that this constituted a special order and thus may have led to having an unusually stamped ID plate?
A question to those that have seen rear stamped engine number ID plates, are the colours stated on the plates unusual for the year of the car?
Obviously if BMC were painting cars in any year model paint this theory is squashed.
