Someone had entered 1988 and Lamm, so likely to be one of the early (late 80s onwards) unofficial conversions. Has Cooper grille, suggesting 1990+ like this one. Doesn't look like one of the official Rover series of 75 cars built in June 1991 - they were all RHD and had more bodykit. Oct 92+ Rover's own Mini Cabriolet had even more bodykit. |

Date and engine size confirm it's not a Cooper. |

Not sure if this helps to put an actual build date ? ROVER MINI 3 portes 1.0 1000 (41CV, 30kW) - 3092 Première mise en circulation : 18/07/1988 VIN : SAXXL2S1021386503 Code moteur : 99HE |

^ doesn't really give anything new, but slightly odd to be described as Rover Mini as that title was not used until 1990 - maybe the data has been re-entered more recently?? There might be another hiccup in the car's history, as there's no way of being able to tell when the (presumed) LAMM conversion took place - in 1988 on a new Mini, or later on a used Mini, by then a few years old?? Both are possible, as LAMM were happy to chop whatever Minis they were asked to do. |

@dsl sometimes the part site has the wrong marque and model input so I would hesitate to use that as bible. I know our checks here constantly mess up the Ford Econoline/E-Series using both nomenclature sometimes simultaneously. |
