I am currently living in Italy and I just bought a 1992 Rover Mini Cooper. My intent is to bring it back to the United States with me. I am being told I need some sort of "original documentation" confirming the year make and model of the car. The reason is because my company will ship one euro spec classic car (more than 20 years old) back to the United States for me free of charge. I simply need documentation proof of its age.  

I need some help, does anyone know how to get proof of my cars origination? through the VIN # or something?

forgive my ignorance but surely in Italy you have some kind of registration document equivalent to out V5 documents? I'm not 100% sure but does the vin plate not show a Date of manufacture (my mini is too old to have a vin plate!)

A heritage certificate won't be available for that age mini as I understand it?
