I don't have information on a Morris around that number, but I would guess it was manufactured near or just after the middle of 1960.

I recently purchased M/A2S4 48503.  This was a RHD 850 British market de luxe first registered in April 1961.  No telling how long it sat in inventory though.

FWIW -Looking a Rees book he shows May '61 as being when 'cast alloy suspension trumpets' were added beginning with 70376 so shortly before that I would guess.

I visited the car yesterday and here is the VIN tag: M /A2S4 L 64968 Can anyone provide information on approximate date of manufacture of this car? 

I believe I own most of the Mini books out there, and have done many de-codes on Cooper and 's' cars with information that is available, but never on other Mini models. Is there a book someone can point me to for this? I will plan to send in for the BMIHT certificate on this car, but am just curious what anyone here on this board can share - kinda excited you know

thanks!

Somewhere here may be able to give a year estimate based on the build number
