Published Dates
Whilst factory production records do not exist in the public domain, a small number of published works exist in their absence. These publications are for the most part general and do not hold details of individual vehicles.
BMC & Leyland Mini Identification Guide
The Mini Car Club of NSW (1999) produced the BMC & Leyland Mini Identification Guide which included a list of car details and delivery dates for nearly 100 cars.
The source of the information on the list is not known.
