Exact date of manufacture

Does someone know how to get the exact date of manufacture for FBA13/404700 without payning the ugly sum of 28 pounds?

it's probably not a new idea, but... for those not blessed with a multitude of lights in a garage, or a garage, and they find themselves head down in an engine on an evening after work (and 'tis dark at this time of year - i notice these things, that's why they call me an artist). i have a solution...

I saw on some website that they started the 1000 series on september 25th 1956, Élisabeth was registered(and thus built before) 10-02-1956

Well, those lights are early Minor 1000 ones. Late series 2 ones should have a half painted / half chrome base. I don't have my reference book to hand so I can't tell you the exact date when they changed over. Maybe someone on here can. If not then I can tell you at the weekend when I get back home...

Those are indeed Elisabeths taillights
Unfortunately, I can't check out her bonnet, as she is currently undergoing anti-corrosion treatment (her birthday present) Sheé having her 49th birthday on Feb 10th
