1967 Mini Classic Mini

Vehicle Description

The Wisconsin registration photo indicates 1967 but it has been brought to my attention that may not be the case.
When we purchased it from Mecum Auctions almost 20 years ago we only went by what the title indicated. Bid according. I will try to identify what the actual model year is... I have added a photo from https://www.minimania.com/images/id_mini/mark.html that indicates research thus far. None of this issue should detract from the fact that this is a car in great condition and has been well cared for by us for many years. Manual transmission. Front wheel drive.
Engine number is 99HB81P:

• 99H: This indicates a 998cc engine, transversely mounted.
• B81: This designates a specific engine variant. According to the Classic Mini DIY Engine Plate Decoder, this code refers to a 998cc engine variant that was produced up to engine number 127431.
• P: This is an emissions equipment type identifier, according to Mini Mania.
• 113662: This is the sequential engine serial number.
