In short it was built Jun 92, came into NZ Feb/Mar 93 where it sat on "stock" and was sold/registered new in Feb 1994.
One of these days I'll scan all the docs and post them on here for posterity.

Okay, the NZ cars have a manufacturing date tag, as do the US-spec cars. The Japanese cars do not.
I toured the BMW MINI manufacturing plant in Oxford, summer 05, taken there in my JDM VL. RHD and LHD were built simultaneously on the same line. I believe that after September 1991, when Japanese Domestic Production began on the SVX assembly line, that it is most likely that rhd/lhd cars were built at the same time on the same line, and that batches were according to APPLIED MODEL ABC, etc, and therefore color, as color was associated with model.
