As part of our remit to become a useful and resourceful website and magazine, we have found some helpful information from other Mini enthusiasts which will enable you to decode those funny letters and numbers that identify your Mini uniquely.
It's especially useful when buying classic Minis, their engines or shells, by allowing you to check that the engine or body is what they say it is.
Why not check yours now and see what comes up, bearing in mind it's not a foolproof system due to the cock-eyed numbering system used in the old days, but in most cases it is pretty accurate.
