    1 LI was issued in Westmeath in August 1978 and 9999 LI in February 1983.

    As Kasper says - probably 1981ish.

    Is it a Mini City? If so, its no older than 1980. Post a picture or give us more details about the appearance, wheel size, engine size, colour etc. If its an import (more unlikely than likely) then it could indeed be older than its registration

    Chauffe, Marcel, chauffe!


    CookieMini, do you not have any paperwork with the car? If not, do you have the VIN?
