...and you can also check the wiper motor for a manufacturing date (provided it is still the original item).

Look in the scuttle drip rail to verify your vin #, if it is a true 1975 or earlier model it may not have the vin # stamped in the rail, but you can also go to the boot latch and see the approximate build date, small punch marks eg: 32/75 = thirty second week of 1975 build look closely on the brass flat metal piece on the inside of the latch

So it's not a cooper. Just a mini.

I'm preparing to sell my mini cooper and I wanted to confirm its make/model/year. When I purchased it 10 years ago, I was told that it was a 1975 Mini Cooper 998cc. Now as I prepare to sell it, I want to ensure that information is correct and I'm presenting it as accurately as possible to a potential buyer. I have checked the Vin/Commission number section of the website, but I would really appreciate a second set of eyes on it for me.
VIN: XL2SIN-136741A. The badge also includes Austin Morris Group British Leyland UK LTD
Commission: N20S-257627A
From my research and the website, my understanding is it is a 998cc, 2 door saloon, round nose, special deluxe made in Longbridge.
