Hi, I was just curious is there anyone that can direct me to somewhere that can supply me with the original build data/sheet or 'birth certificate' of either an approximate 1965?!?! Morris Mini Deluxe or early to mid 1970's square nose.
None of the cars I have are high end models like Coopers or Clubman GT.
I'm just interested to see what options were fitted to my cars & hopefully confirm if they are still original & not modified.
Any help is appreciated.

Cheers Brad

Cheers Brad

Send a PM to John Sneddon with the chassis number. He's a Mini guru compiling a detailed list of Mini production in Oz and may know.

unfortunately all factory records were destroyed when the company stopped the last of its local manufacturing, barring a few bits and pieces. a few people like Watto, John Sneddon, winabbey and Morris1100 have forensically pieced various bits of info together to try and work out what was built with what and when.

I know your after locally produced vehicles, but this may help other members, hope this is useful.


try that, I sent off an application and what I got back was a birth certificate for my car, well worth the cost.
