I've got most of the history of my 1800 since it was new; it was allocated to the Victorian State manager of British Leyland, before my parents took it over. My mum never stuck the rego stickers on the screen because she thought it would be a nuisance to have to replace them if it got smashed, which it did on more than one occasion. I found a pile of them when I took it over. Not as exciting as Skylark's build sheet, and the place where it was built (Zetland in Sydney) is now the site of a up-market Mirvac housing estate. The only nod to its history is the naming of a few streets - Wolseley, Austin, Morris and Leyland Groves and a Nuffield Park. There's also a Cooper Place, but whether that's anything to do with hot Minis is anyone's guess.
